The Jackpot Nebula is a large luminous Lyman-Alpha nebula located at a distance of z=2.041 with a size of 350 kpc. It has four quasars embedded within it and a overdensity of Lyman-Alpha emitting galaxies.[1][2]
The four quasars embedded within the Jackpot Nebula irradiate the nebula causing it to emitting light.[3]
