A wide-field image showing a sprawling red and orange nebula shaped like a flying bird, known as the Seagull Nebula. The bright "head" region, IC 2177, glows near the center left, lit by a massive embedded star. A faint bluish arc near the lower right marks a bow shock created by the fast-moving star FN Canis Majoris. The background is filled with dense starfields and dark dust clouds, all set against the bright glow of hydrogen gas in the plane of the Milky Way.
