Scientific paper

It is shown that Cyg X-6 and Cyg X-7 are part of a large X-ray ring, 13 degrees in diameter. At a distance of 2 kpc, this X-ray source lies behind the Great Rift of Cygnus, and as such has radiation from its central region absorbed. The diameter of the emitting region is 450 pc. The X-ray source is associated with a ring of elongated H-alpha filaments which enclose the Cygnus X radio source. At the center of this region lies the highly luminous Cygnus OB2 association.
