Credits: Francesco Ciavaglia

NGC 6888 (also known as the Crescent Nebula) is a diffuse Nebula visible in the southern part of the constellation of the Cygnus. The Cloud shines by reflection, following the energy received during the explosion of the supernova itself. The gases of the Nebula appear centered on a wolf-Rayet star that is now inside it, this star would also be responsible for the nebula.
