English: The North America Nebula, taken by the larage-aperture double astrograph at Germany´s Landessternwrate Heildelberg-Königstuhl observatory on 12 July 1901. The gas nebula was named for its striking resemblance to the continent of North America. Roughly 2200 light-years away from Earth, the nebula consists mainly of hydrogen, which is illuminated by young, newly formed stars.
