NGC 6914 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Cygnus. It is surrounded by dark nebulae and a giant nebula that is primarily visible in the H-alpha wavelength. It is located about 6'000 light years away. Ultraviolet radiation from stars in the Cygnus OB2 association provide the ionization of the nebula. This association includes one of the largest known stars, NML Cygni. Estimates of the size of this star go up to 2'770 times the radius of our sun.
