An inconspicuous summer constellation of Vulpecula is positioned just south of the Northern Cross, Cygnus. The constellation has been established by Hevelius in 17th century, and is drawing a fox holding a bag of bird. The constellation's name of "Little Fox" was called "Little fox and Goose" in the beginning. It's considerably difficult to form the constellation because it has the brightest stars of only 4th magnitude. But the constellation contains a famous planetary nebula of "Dumb-bell Nebula (M27)" around the central region, the nebula has made the constellation's name comparatively known.
Nebula In Vulpecula
M27 (NGC6853)
M27 (NGC6853), "Dumbbell Nebula" is a noted planetary nebula in the constellation of Vulpecula just south of Cygnus. Its odd shape has given this nickname. The nebula is bright and large, we can enjoy the humorous figure easily only with binoculars. I think good simile for this nebula is an apple's core. The nebula is about 970 light years away, and luminous owing to a white dwarf star at the center with magnitude of 13.
Galaxies & Star Clusters In Vulpecula
NGC 7052
Resembling a gigantic hubcap in space, a 3,700-light-year-wide dust disk encircles a 300-million- solar-mass black hole in the center of the elliptical galaxy NGC 7052. The disk, possibly a remnant of an ancient galaxy collision, will be swallowed up by the black hole in several billion years.
Cr 399
Cr 399, Brocchi's Cluster, is also known as the "Coathanger". It is a distinctive asterism, but not a true star cluster. It is visible to the unaided eye off the head of Cygnus the Swan in Vulpecula, and resolved into its namesake shape in a telescope or pair of binoculars.
NGC 6940
NGC6940 is an open cluster of about a hundred stars, found at about 4 degrees SW of the veil nebula in Cygnus. The cluster is unexpectedly striking because it's positioned in front of dark nebula in summer's Milky Way. You can appreciate the cluster with faint stars gathering dense in semicircle; it'll be a splendid view. The cluster is about 9400 light years away from the solar system.
