Deneb and emission nebulae. Deneb (Alpha Cygni, lower left) is a blue giant, and one of the most powerful stars known. It is the 19th brightest star in the night sky despite its huge distance

Emission nebula NGC 2174. North is at top. The nebula is also called the Monkey nebula. It is a cloud of gas and dust that emits light as the hydrogen gas it contains is ionised by radiation from hot

Emission nebulae IC 1848 and IC 1805
Emission nebulae IC 1805 and IC 1848. North is at top. These nebulae are also known as the Heart and Soul nebulae. The Soul nebula (IC 1848) is at lower left

California nebula (NGC 1499). North is at top. This is a huge cloud of gas that glows as the hydrogen it contains is ionised by radiation from the hot star Menkib (Xi Persei, centre right)

North America nebula. North is at top. This nebula (centre left) is named for its resemblance to the continent. It is part of the same nebula as the Pelican nebula (IC 5067-70, centre right)

Bubble nebula and surrounding nebulae
Bubble nebula (NGC 7635) with surrounding nebulosity. North is at top. The Bubble itself is in the bright orange patch just left of centre, just left of the bright blue star

Crab nebula and Zeta Tauri star
Crab nebula (M1, upper right) and the star Zeta Tauri (lower left). The Crab nebula is a supernova remnant, expanding shells of gas cast off by a supernova, the explosive death of a massive star

Andromeda galaxy (M31). North is at top. This large spiral galaxy is the nearest major galaxy to our own Milky Way, lying around 2.5 million light years from Earth, in the constellation Andromeda

Maffei I and II galaxies. North is at top. Maffei I (red, centre right) is an elliptical galaxy, Maffei II (centre left) is classified as a barred spiral
