Cygnus and Lacerta Constellation Map



Above is a new constellation image I drew recently this year. It features CYGNUS the Swan, a sprawling constellation known for straddling the Milky Way galaxy's star-studded band in the night sky. LACERTA the Lizard may not be as notable in the night sky, but the zigzagged constellation offers a few notable cosmic wonders.

Discover more about Cygnus with my blog post! Amazing Astronomy will post about Lacerta at a later date, keeping with the alphabetical order of constellation posts.

— Ant Nebula (also called Menzel 3) is an aptly-named planetary nebula located in the constellation Norma.

— Egg Nebula (also called CL 2688) is a protoplanetary nebula in the constellation Cygnus.
