Sh 2-106,[2] also known as the Celestial Snow Angel, is an emission nebula and a star formation region in the constellation Cygnus.

It is a H II region estimated to be around 2,000 light years (600 pc) from Earth, in an isolated area of the Milky Way.

[2] In the center of the nebula is a young and massive star that emits jets of hot gas from its poles, forming the bipolar structure.

With an estimated surface temperature of 37,000 K, it is classified as a type O8 star.

[5] Studies of images has revealed that the star-forming region has also created hundreds of low-mass brown dwarf stars[4] and protostars.
