In the constellation of the swan lies the gas cloud of the butterfly surrounding a star. That star, given the proper name Sadr, is visible to the unaided eye but found here as the brightest object on the upper left. Sadr, at 1500 light years distant, is near the center of the Butterfly Nebula (IC 1318) in a bright region given the comparatively staid label of IC 1318B. The fantastic starfield that surrounds Sadr contains stars old and young, an open cluster of stars (NGC 6910 visible on the top of the image), vast clouds of hydrogen gas that glow red, and picturesque pockets and filaments of dark dust.
