Sh2-88, also known as Sharpless 88, is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation of Scorpius. It is part of a larger molecular cloud complex and is noted for its rich star-forming activity. This nebula is particularly interesting to astronomers due to the presence of hot, young stars that ionize the surrounding gas, giving rise to the characteristic glow of emission nebulae.
