Rosette

The Rosette Nebula (NGC 2244) is a large emmission nebula located in the constellation Monocaros. At a distance of 5.2k light years, this H II region occupies more the 1.3 degrees of sky - which is more than 2.6 times the diameter of the full moon. At its center, young hot O-type stars are evaporating its dust, creating a central void. These stars were formed in the gas and dust which comprise the nebula.
