Stunning telescopic view of the Tulip Nebula (Sh2-101) in the Cygnus constellation. This vibrant nebula, located 8,000 light-years away, showcases intricate details of interstellar gas and dust ionized by young stars. Red, green, and blue hues represent sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen emissions. The bright star near the center is HDE 227018, and the microquasar Cygnus X-1 is visible towards the top right.
