Astronomy Science ~ Framing the light-emitting region, my telescopic sight is seen along the plane of our Milky Way galaxy toward the Cygnus the Swan constellation. Popularly known as the Tulip Nebula, a luminous cloud of interstellar gas and dust are also found in the 1959 catalog by astronomer Stewart Sharpless as Sh2-101.
About 8,000 light years away, the nebula is known is not the only cosmic cloud that can bring the image of flowers. Complex and beautiful nebulae are shown here in a composite image that maps the emission of ionized sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in the red, green and blue. Ultraviolet radiation from young and energetic star - O HDE 227018 ionizes the atoms and generate emissions of Tulip Nebula. HDE 227018 is a bright star that is very close to the blue bow at the center of the image.
