Description

WR 134 is a variable Wolf-Rayet star located around 6,000 light years away from Earth, surrounded by a faint bubble nebula blown by the intense radiation and fast wind from the star. It is five times the radius of the sun, but due to a temperature over 63,000 K it is 400,000 times as luminous as the Sun.

Sharpless 101 (Sh2-101) is a H II region emission nebula. It is sometimes also called the Tulip Nebula because it appears to resemble the outline of a tulip when imaged photographically.

These two objects are bathed in a dense alpha-hydrogen zone with a prominent Oiii drape and a few dark nebulosities.
