APOD 3.2: The Soap Bubble Nebula

Set in the star fields of the constellation Cygnus, this nebula was found only a few years ago and still does not appear in some astronomical catalogs. In fact, amateur astronomer Dave Jurasevich identified it as a nebula on 2008 July 6 in his images of the complex Cygnus region that included the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888). The nebula, appearing on the left of the featured image, is now known as the Soap Bubble Nebula.
