Explanation:
This beautiful image of the sky near the bright star
Deneb
(just above center) reveals the stars, nebulae, and dark clouds
along the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy as seen from the northern
hemisphere (near Columbia Missouri, USA).
Just below Deneb lies the suggestively shaped North American emission nebula.
Deneb is
the brightest star in the constellation
Cygnus,
located in the tail of this
celestial swan.
Cygnus
contains the asterism known as the Northern Cross and
marks one side of the "Great Rift" in the Milky Way, a series of dark
obscuring dust clouds which stretches on through the constellation
Sagittarius.
Deneb defines the top of the Northern
Cross while the body of the cross extends past the
upper right corner of the picture.
Cygnus also harbors the most famous
candidate for a black hole in our galaxy,
Cygnus X-1.
