🔭 Location: In the constellation Cygnus, within a region rich in nebulae and massive stars.
🌫️ Type: Emission nebula formed by a giant expanding bubble of gas sculpted by powerful stellar winds.
📏 Distance: About 5,000 light-years from Earth.
🌀 Size: Roughly 25 light-years across.
⭐ This nebula was formed from material expelled by the massive star WR 136. Its extremely fast stellar winds collided with the surrounding gas, creating the crescent-shaped structure we observe today.
