Seagull's head SHO CHI-1 3h Bundle
IC2177 is part of a stellar nursery nicknamed the Seagull Nebula. This cloud of gas, also known as Sh 2-292, RCW 2 and Gum 1, seems to form the head of the seagull and glows brightly due to the energetic radiation from the very hot young star HD 53367 lurking at its heart.
