Sorry, but this doesn't make sense!

For a start, 'nebulae' is plural. And Cygnus isn't in a nebula. Cygnus (like all the constellations) is just a name given to a region of sky that appears to resemble some object or other from the arrangement of its stars. None of the stars in a given constellation usually have any connection with the others. They just lie in the same general direction. Deneb, the brightest star in Cygnus, is over 1000 lightyears away, but close to it (in the sky!) we have 61 Cygni, which is one of the closest stars to us, at about 11 lightyears.

A constellation is a purely human construct, like (say) a country with its borders.
