This image captures a ring-shaped supernova remnant spreading about 3 degrees north of β Cygni (Albireo).
You can display an emphasized monochrome image by clicking on a button in upper right hand of this page.
With a diameter of up to 4 degrees, part of the remnant extends into the region of Lyra, but it is extremely faint, revealing a complex interplay of red Hα light and green OIII light.
The distance from the solar system is estimated to be 2600 light-years, with an actual diameter of approximately 180 light-years.
The filamentous region on the southern side is relatively dense, designated as Sh2-91 in the Sharpless catalog.
Based on the expansion speed of the nebula, this supernova remnant is believed to have been formed by a supernova explosion approximately 300,000 years ago.
