NGC 6914 is a reflection nebula located approximately 6,000 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus, and was discovered by Édouard Stephan on August 29, 1881. [3] Ultraviolet radiation from stars in the Cygnus OB2 association ionize the nebula's hydrogen. [2]

The collection of gas and dust in this image shows three main bright areas known as NGC 6914 (at the center), NGC 6914a (to the south, at left in the image) and NGC 6914b (to the north, at right in the image). Each bright nebula nucleus is centered on …

2022年7月7日 · Ultraviolet radiation from the massive, hot, young stars of the extensive Cygnus OB2 association ionize the region’s atomic hydrogen gas, producing the characteristic red glow as protons and electrons recombine. Embedded Cygnus OB2 stars also provide the blue starlight strongly reflected by the dust clouds.

2022年7月2日 · Explanation: A study in contrasts, this colorful skyscape features stars, dust, and glowing gas in the vicinity of NGC 6914. The interstellar complex of nebulae lies some 6,000 light-years away, toward the high-flying northern constellation Cygnus and …

2011年3月4日 · Explanation: A dramatic study in contrasts, this colorful skyscape features stars, dust, and glowing gas in NGC 6914. The complex of nebulae lies some 6,000 light-years away, toward the high-flying northern constellation Cygnus and the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy.

The nebular complex know as NGC 6914, comprising in the Cygnus constellation, is a clear case of combination of the three types of nebulae described above. This region concentrates gaseous and dusty masses of the galactic plane, where stars are born.

NGC 6914 is a complex of reflection nebulae at the heart of the constellation Cygnus. NGC 6914 is 6,000 lightyears away and contains two blue reflection nebulae, vdB 132, seen to the right in the image below, and another reflection nebula, vdB 131, slightly lower to the left.

NGC 6914 is a complex of reflection nebulae lying 6000 light years away in the constellation of Cygnus. Embeded within this nebula are Cygnus OB2 stars that ionize hydrogen gas as well …

2020年9月8日 · The NGC 6914 complex of reflection nebulae lies about 6,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. This colorful skyscape features stars, interstellar dust clouds and reddish hydrogen emission nebulae, along with the dusty blue reflection nebulae.

2021年7月1日 · NGC 6914 itself is the blue reflection nebula near center. It’s surrounded by a wonderful field of glowing gas and dust. Located at approximately 6,000 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus. Imaged from my backyard in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. This is 8.5 hours of HaRGB data.
