Sharpless 101 is a HII region emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is also called the Tulip Nebula, because it appears to resemble the outline of a tulip when imaged photographically. It was catalogued by astronomer Stewart Sharpless in his 1959 catalog of nebulae. It lies at a distance of about 6,000 light-years from Earth.
