The Lion Nebula.
Found in the constellation of Cepheus, the Lion Nebula when viewed from just the right perspective, actually does represent a lion. At approx 10,000 light years away
it is made up of an emission nebula and a reflection nebula.
Not bright enough for visual observation sadly, it does however make for a great imaging target.
