Sh2-129
Sh2-129, also known as the Drunken Dragon Nebula, is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is part of a larger molecular cloud complex and is approximately 1,000 light-years away from Earth. The nebula is notable for its intricate structure and vibrant colors, which are produced by ionized gas and dust.
The nebula is associated with the open cluster NGC 281, which contains young, hot stars that contribute to the ionization of the surrounding gas. Sh2-129 is a popular target for amateur astronomers and astrophotographers due to its striking appearance and relatively accessible location in the night sky.
