Sharpless 2-126, or Sh2-126, is a large, faint H II emission region in the constellation Lacerta, also called the Great Lacerta Nebula and the Star Funnel. It is part of a wider complex of gas and molecular clouds associated with the Lacerta OB1 stellar association. Ultraviolet radiation from the ho...
Sh2-126 is a large, faint emission-nebula complex in the constellation Lacerta and is catalogued in Stewart Sharpless's second catalogue of H II regions. Its hydrogen gas is ionized chiefly by ultraviolet radiation from 10 Lacertae, an O-type star associated with the Lacerta OB1 stellar group. Becau...
