NGC 6946, (also known as C 12), is a spiral galaxy located on the border between the constellations Cygnus and Cepheus. Its apparent large size is due to its relative proximity to the Milky Way. This galaxy is famous in the scientific community as the Fireworks Galaxy, due to the number of supernovae observed, ten in the last 100 years.
