Description

SH2-101 Tulip Nebula with Cygnus X-1 shockwave.  I think the capture includes the shockwave showing above and just to the right of the tulip.  The black hole in the Cygnus X-1 system began life as a star approximately 60 times the mass of the sun and collapsed tens of thousands of years ago.
