How far away is the constallation cygnus away from earth?

Answer 1

I don't know how far away Cygnus is from in miles or kilometres, but I do know that it is so far away from Earth that the light that we see from it is over 2000 years old. Seeing as 1 light year is around 9 and a half trillion kilometres, it would mean that Cygnus is INCREDIBLY far away from Earth. Cygnus can only be seen from telescopes on Earth. Even then, it is incredible to know that it can be seen at all since it's so far away. On that note, Cygnus is 70, 000 times brighter than our Sun. Yep, seventy thousand times brighter. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

The stars in the constellation Cygnus are all at different distances.

One of the closest is the star 61 Cygni, which was the first to have its distance deduced from a measurement of the parallax by Friedrich Bessel. It is only 11 light years away, and about 1/15 as bright as the Sun.

On the other hand the bright star Deneb is 1660 light years away and about 7000 times brighter than the Sun.
