The Lion Nebula (Sh2-132)

The Lion Nebula (Sh2-132) is a part of the Shapeless catalogue of objects and is located in the Perseus arm of the Milky way. At roughly 10,000 lightyears away this nebula is both large and rich with activity including the planetary nebula G101.5-00.6, galactic cluster Teutsch 127, and a Wolf-Rayet star 153ab.
