Description:

The Crescent Nebula in Cygnus. Here we are seeing the results of powerful stellar winds from Wolf-Rayet star, WR 136. These winds are causing a shockwave, actually two, which form the shape of the structure within the nebulous gasses. I've always wanted to get a close up of this target!
