Description

Here is my latest. This is the Rosette Nebula (NGC 2244) which is a vast emission nebula located about 5,200 light-years away. In the center is the Satellite Cluster which is responsible for the nebula’s glow. Just like the Orion Nebula, the Rosette Nebula is a very active stellar nursery. The dark filaments of dust extending toward the center of the nebula, sometimes called “elephant trunks,” are shaped by the stellar winds and radiation from hot young stars and electromagnetic forces.
