BASIC INFO
The Rosette Nebula is a large emission nebula located in the constellation Monoceros. It is named for its rose-like appearance, with delicate petals of glowing gas and dust spanning about 130 light-years in diameter. At its center lies the open star cluster NGC 2244, whose hot, young stars illuminate the surrounding nebula and drive its pink coloration. The Rosette Nebula is a region of active star formation, with embedded young stellar objects and protostars surrounded by dusty disks.
