How does a tail become a 'head' (chief point)?
Alpha Cygnus (Deneb): The name of this star means "tail" and having a magnitude of 1.2, is located 1500 light-years from Earth. Deneb is 10,000 times brighter than the Sun and has a superficial temperature of 11,000 Kelvin degrees. Its color is white-yellow and its diameter is 60 times greater than the Sun.
NGC7000: Located near and towards East from Deneb, this is the famous North America Nebula. It is very big and you would need as little as 10x magnification to see the whole object.
