C 20

Caldwell 20 / NGC 7000, also known as the North America Nebula, is a large glowing cloud of gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. It is about 1,500 light-years away from Earth and spans roughly 50 light-years. Its shape resembles the continent of North America, which gives it its name. The nebula is an active star-forming region, where new stars are born inside clouds of hydrogen gas and cosmic dust. #Oman
