The Tulip Nebula (Sh2-101)
The Tulip Nebula is an emission nebula, energized by hot, young stars. It was catalogued by Stewart Sharpless in his 1959 nebula catalog. The companion star to the Cygnus X-1 black hole is also close by in the sky and I have included in the images below a monochrome capture showing this star.
