Sharpless 101 (Sh 2-101) is a H II region [1] emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is sometimes also called the Tulip Nebula because it appears to resemble the outline of a tulip when imaged photographically. It was catalogued by astronomer Stewart Sharpless in his 1959 catalog of nebulae.

The Tulip Nebula is a glowing cloud of interstellar gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. This emission nebula is cataloged as Sharpless 101, or Sharpless Sh2-101. The Tulip Nebula is about 8,000 light-years from Earth, and 70 light-years across in size.

Popularly called the Tulip Nebula, the brightest glowing cloud of interstellar gas and dust above center is also found in the 1959 catalog by astronomer Stewart Sharpless as Sh2-101. Nearly 70 light-years across the complex and beautiful Tulip Nebula blossoms about 8,000 light-years away, shown in a Hubble palette image that maps the glow of ...

2022年9月4日 · One of the most photographed targets in the northern hemisphere summer sky, the Sh2-101, or Tulip Nebula, is a fascinating HII emission region in the constellation of Cygnus. Next to the Tulip it is possible to observe the bow shock wavefront produced by the strong Cygnus X-1 x-ray binary system.

Sharpless 101 (Sh2-101) is a H II region=10.5px emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is sometimes also called the Tulip Nebula because it appears to resemble the outline of a tulip when imaged photographically. It was catalogued by astronomer Stewart Sharpless in his 1959 catalog of nebulae.

The Tulip nebula or SH2-101 lies in the constellation of Cygnus, about 6,000 light years from Earth. As the Tulip nebula was relatively small in the fov of the StellaMira 90mm refractor, I positioned ...

SH2-101 is a Hydrogen emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. It was catalogued by astronomer Stewart Sharpless in his 1959 catalog of nebulae. It lies at a distance of about 6,000 light-years from Earth. Sh2-101, as viewed from Earth, is in close proximity to microquasar Cygnus X-1, site of one of the first suspected black holes.

2021年8月9日 · Sharpless 101 (specifically Sh2-101) is also known as the Tulip Nebula and is located approximately 6000 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus (The Swan). Steven Sharpless first cataloged this rich H II emission region in 1959 in his second catalog of nebulae.

2020年10月28日 · Sh2-101 is an emission nebula in Cygnus. It is known as the Tulip Nebula because of its flower-like shape and bright colors. 🌷 Sh2-101 is surrounded by lots of nebulous gas, making it a great target for any size of telescope.
