Sh2-132, also called the Lion Nebula is an faint emission nebula located in the constellation of Cepheus.

It can be found on the southern edge of the constellation, near the border with Lizard, along the plane of the Milky Way.

It is about 10.400 light-years from Earth, placing it within the Perseus Arm, in the region of Cepheus OB1, it is about 250 light years in diameter.

The stars responsible for ionizing its gases are very hot and massive, in particular, two Wolf-Rayet stars which are 50 times larger than our sun, but 1 million times brighter.
