LBN 328 – North America Nebula Dust Lanes
These dust lanes sit to the edge of the North America Nebula NGC 7000 and are labeled LBN 328. It is a bright emissions nebula in Cygnus with a strong amount of Hydrogen and Oxygen being energized by surrounding stars ultraviolet radiation. This intense energy causes emission nebulae to emit light and we capture it hundreds and thousands of light years away. This gas is about 2200 light years away.
