Tulip Xiangyun and Swan seat X-1

Note: This telescope photo shows a bright launch area. This area is located in the galaxy, in the direction of the nebula -rich constellation. The nebula, which is composed of interstellar gases and dust, is commonly known as the tulip star cloud, which is compiled into the star watch by astronomer Stuart Shaplis in 1959, numbered SH2-101. This complex and beautiful tulip nebula is nearly 70 light years in diameter, and "blooming" is outside 8000 light years. The ultraviolet radiation of the young high -energy star (including O star HDE 227018) on the edge of the Swan OB3 Star Association enables the atom to ionize and drives the launch of the tulip star. There is also a micro-star Swan seat X-1, which is one of the strongest X-ray sources in the sky of the earth. It was impacted by the tangible black hole in the hidden black hole. Its dull blue bending wave wave was barely visible in front of the photo -located on the right side of the screen and outside the cosmic tulip petals.
