NGC 6946 "Fireworks Galaxy"

Between the constellations of Cygnus and Cepheus hides a true cosmic gem — NGC 6946. It is called not only the "Fireworks Galaxy" but also... the fiery one. And it's not just about the frequent supernova outbursts. Look at its spirals: they are full of young blue giants and reddish star-forming regions, giving it the appearance of a blazing cosmic whirlwind. This is a galaxy where the life and death of stars dance their eternal dance.
