Explanation:
Where on the sky is the Pelican Nebula?
APOD
features many objects on the night sky,
but usually does not have the resources to show exactly where on the night sky each
objects lies.
Today, thanks to inventive digital manipulations of
Filipe Alves, it is possible to show you exactly where on the sky the photogenic
Pelican Nebula can be found.
Clicking on the above arrow
will cause many browsers to download and play a spectacular movie that zooms from
the perspective of an unaided human eye to that of a powerful telescope.
The observatory dome visible on the right is part of
Calar Alto Observatory
in southern Spain.
The image zooms into the
constellation of Cygnus,
passes the
dust structure in the
Pelican head
housing unborn stars.
