The Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946) is located 22 million light-years away and has a diameter of about 40,000 light-years. Its angular size is 11.5' x 9.5'.
NGC 6939 is an open star cluster located 3,900 light-years away, composed of roughly 500 stars, and looks like scattered diamond dust! The cluster's angular size is 9' x 9'.
Both objects are truly like two pearls in the crown of the constellation Cepheus!
