The North America Nebula (also known by the designations NGC 7000 and C 20) is an emission nebula visible in the constellation of Cygnus, near Deneb, the tail of the swan and its brightest star. The nebula's shape traces the outline of the North American continent, especially its east coast, between the Gulf of Mexico and Florida. It includes: the North America Nebula, NGC 7000, the Pelican Nebula, IC 5070, the star 57 Cyg, and the star 56 Cyg.
