The image shows the Tulip Nebula with an exposure time of 650 minutes.
Sharpless 101 (Sh2-101) is an emission nebula (HII region) in the constellation Cygnus. It is sometimes called the Tulip Nebula because its outline appears to resemble a tulip in photographs. It was cataloged by the astronomer Stewart Sharpless in his 1959 catalog of nebulae. It is located about 7,000 light-years from Earth.
Sh2-101 is located, at least in the area visible from Earth, in close proximity to the microquasar Cygnus X-1, where one of the first suspected black holes was discovered. Cygnus X-1 is about 15′ west of Sh2-101. The companion star of Cygnus X-1 is a supergiant of spectral class O9.7 Iab with a mass of 21 solar masses and 20 times the radius of the Sun. The binary system has a period of 5.8 days, and the pair is separated by 0.2 astronomical units. The black hole has eThe image shows the Tulip Nebula with an exposure time of 650 minutes.
