Cygnus Wall

The Cygnus Wall is a ridge of star-forming gas and dust about 20 million light-years long in the North America Nebula, NGC 7000. Like a mountain range carved by the erosion of water and wind, the Cygnus Wall is shaped by the energetic radiation of the young, hot stars nearby. The dark shapes that snake through the ridge are cooled gases and dust, the birth place of new stars.
