Sh2-91 is the remnant of a supernova that occurred about 30,000 years ago in the constellation of Cygnus at a distance of about 1,400 light-years. The shock wave, propagating at about 30,000 km/s, compresses and heats the interstellar matter to such an extent that the gas is ionized and excited to glow.
The entire SNR is oval shaped, and about the same size as the much better known Cirrus Nebula, also found in Cygnus. However, G 65.3 + 5.7 or Sh2-91 is considerably fainter than the Cirrus Nebula. Probably for this reason only few images of this region are seen.
