NGC 6914 is a nebula complex located approximately 6,000 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus. Ultraviolet radiation from stars in the Cygnus OB2 association ionize the nebula's hydrogen. The two blue reflection nebulae appearing left of center, are cataloged as vdB 132. Further left, and slightly lower, is the reflection nebula vdB 131. There are several other dark and small yellow nebulae visible in this image. This view is only part of the entire nebula complex
