But in 2020, the Gaia astrometry spacecraft measured the distances to 395 stars lying within the HII region, giving the North America and Pelican nebulae a distance of 2,590 light years (795±25 parsecs). The entire HII region Sh2-117 is estimated to be 140 light years across, and the North America nebula stretches 90 light years north to south ...
Cygnus OB7 is an OB association in the giant Cygnus molecular cloud complex, which also contains the star-forming regions Cygnus X, the North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula. The Northern Coalsack Nebula of the Cygnus Rift lies in the foreground of this region.

In 2017, the system was predicted to result in a merger in 2022.2 (± 0.6 years), producing a luminous red nova (LRN) reaching an apparent magnitude of 2, [7] or about the brightness of Polaris, the North Star. The LRN would remain visible to the naked eye for roughly a month.
