The Crescent and Soap Bubble Nebulae

            The Crescent Nebula (also known as NGC 6888, Caldwell 27, Sharpless 105) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, about 5000 light-years away from Earth. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1792.[2] It is formed by the fast stellar wind from the Wolf-Rayet star WR 136 (HD 192163) colliding with and energizing the slower moving wind ejected by the star when it became a red giant around 250,000[3] to 400,000[citation needed] years ago. The result of the collision is a shell and two shock waves, one moving outward and one moving inward. The inward moving shock wave heats the stellar wind to X-ray-emitting temperatures.(src Wikipedia)

 La Nébuleuse du Croissant 
La nébuleuse du Croissant (NGC 6888) est une nébuleuse en émission située dans la constellation du Cygne, à environ 5 000 années-lumière2. Elle est issue des rapides vents stellaires créés par l'étoile Wolf-Rayet WR 136 (en), qui poussent la matière issue de vents plus lents éjectés par cette même étoile lorsqu'elle était plus jeune et plus petite (de type géante rouge) il y a 400 000 ans. Le front de choc engendre ce que l'on nomme une bulle de Wolf-Rayet. La nébuleuse est principalement ionisée par l'étoile centrale (photoionisation) qui a une température de surface de 70 000K3. La composition chimique de la nébuleuse montre un enrichissement en azote et carbone et un appauvrissement en oxygène.(src Wikipedia)
