Description

Sh2-132 is located at a distance of nearly 3200 parsecs (almost 10400 light-years), thus placing it within the Perseus Arm, in the region of Cepheus OB1, a large and bright OB association. wo Wolf-Rayet stars have been identified in the Lion Nebula (HD 211564, HD 211853) and are responsible for ionizing the gas in this region. I used only  3,5 hours of SHO data.
