What nebulae is cygnus in?
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.
How far away is Gemini from earth?
The stars in any constellation all tend to be different distances from us. They just appear as a pattern as we look at them. Of the stars in Gemini, the nearest is 33.7 lightyears away. That is about 318,826,616,925,973 kilometres or 198,109,675,076,288 miles away.
How can people literally see the past by using light waves?
Here's the example that illustrate what you just asked. I will be using this example from astronomy. When you look up the sky to the stars, you are literally seeing into the past. The distance from you to the star you are looking at is x lightyears away. Lightyear is distance light travles in 1 year. So if a star is, say 100 lightyears away from you, then you are seeing the state of the star that much time ago.
How far away are Cancer's stars?
The closest (DX Cnc) is 11.8 lightyears away. The farthest is nearly 4000 lightyears away.
What is it called where stars are born 7000 lightyears away?

What is distance of the begin of the Orion's belt and the end of it?
The stars at the two ends, Alnitak and Mintaka are at a distance of 387 and 380 parces (1262 and 1239 lightyears) respectively. Due to the relatively small angular separation, the distance between the stars is approx 7 parsecs = 23 lightyears.
Is the big bear constellation in the solar system?
No. None of the stars you see at night are in the solar system. They are lightyears beyond it.
How is it possible to view objects lightyears far away?
A star emits light, this light travels through empty space to Earth. Note that stars are extremely bright; stars are similar to our Sun.
How far away is the moon in lightyears?
it is 0.0000000406 lightyears away, it is pretty close.
When was Ten Thousand Lightyears created?
Ten Thousand Lightyears was created in 1982.
Are the sun and other stars part of the solar system?
The Sun: yes, a vast majority of the solar system's mass is there. Other stars: no, the sun is the only star in our system. The closest other is over 4 lightyears away.
What type of measurement uses stars as a point of reference?
Astronomical measurement uses stars as a point of reference. By measuring the position of stars relative to each other or to points on the celestial sphere, astronomers can determine distances, locations, and other important parameters in the universe.
Does airplanes fly above the stars?
No. Definitely not. Stars are lightyears away (1 lightyear=6 trillion miles). The normal cruising altitude of aircraft are about 5 miles high (25,000-30,000 feet). Even the space shuttle does not come anywhere close to the stars.
What means space?
space means a outside cold world lightyears and lightyears away in the deep space
