The Rosette Nebula in the Unicorn - The Rosette Nebula and NGC 2244 cluster - The Rosette Nebula is a vast cloud of dust and gas located about 5500 years from Earth. Towards the center of the nebula, a cluster of blue stars, NGC 2244 formed less than a million years ago. Image obtained from the 1.2m Schmidt UK telescope of Siding Spring. The Rosette Nebula exhibits a striking circular symmetry which gives it the appearance of a partly opened rose, an allusion further enhanced by the rich red hues seen in this colour photograph. Near the centre of the nebula is a cluster of blue stars catalogued as NGC 2244. These stars are responsible for making the nebula visible and for creating the hollowed - out central cavity. This cluster of stars formed from the gas which now surrounds it less than a million years ago and is thus very young on the cosmic timescale. The gas and dust at the centre of the nebula have been forced away from the bright stars by radiation pressure and the intense stell

Cone Nebula NGC 2264 in the Unicorn - The Cone Nebula NGC 2264 in Monoceros - The Cone Nebula is a region H II located about 2600 years from Earth. It is accompanied by a cluster of stars called the Christmas tree. The bright star at the top is S Monocerotis, a star of magnitude 4.7. Image obtained by the 2.2m telescope of La Silla. NGC 2264 and the Christmas Tree cluster lies about 2600 light - years from Earth in the constellation of Monoceros, the Unicorn, not far from the more familiar figure of Orion, the Hunter. The image shows a region of space about 30 light - years across. The cluster is very bright and can easily be seen with binoculars. With a small telescope (whose lenses will turn the view upside down) the stars resemble the glittering lights on a Christmas tree. The dazzling star at the top is S Monocerotis, bright enough to be seen with the unaided eye. It is a massive multiple star system that only emerged from the dust and gas a few million years ago.

Nebula IC 2177dans la Unicorn - IC 2177 The Seagull nebula - IC 2177, is a large emission nebula located at the edge of the constellations of the Unicorn and the Great Dog. IC 2177, also known as the Eagle or Seagull Nebula, is a large emission nebulosity located on the border between Monoceros and Canis Major, about 7.5 degrees northeast of Sirius. The brightest portion is the “” head”” of the bird, NGC 2327, measuring some 19 x 17 arc minutes, surrounding an 8th magnitude star, and nearly bisected by an interesting dark lane that stretches from the star eastward, and also including some blue reflection nebulosity. Several open clusters are also involved in this area of nebulosity, the most prominent being NGC 2335, located on the northern “” wing”” of the figure of the Seagull nebula

Nebula of the Rosette in the Unicorn seen in false colors - Rosette nebula in Monoceros - The nebula of the Rosette is a vast cloud of dust and gas situated about 5500 years - light from the Earth. In the center of the nebula, a cluster of blue stars, NGC 2244, formed less than a million years ago. Image in false colors obtained by Kitt Peak's 90 cm telescope. The Rosetta Nebula is a vast cloud of dust and gas, extending over an area of more than 1 degree across, or about 5 times the area covered by the full moon. Its parts have been assigned different NGC numbers: 2237, 2238, 2239, and 2246. Within the nebula, open star cluster NGC 2244 is situated, consisted of the young stars which recently formed from the nebula's material, and the brightest of which make the nebula shine by exciting its atoms to emit radiation. This stunning emission - line image of the Rosette nebula (NGC2237) in the constellation Monoceros (the Unicorn) was taken at the National Science Foundation's 0.9 - m tele

Image obtained by the Oschin telescope of Mount Palomar through several filters and composed. The north is at top. Discovered by John Flamsteed about 1690, the Rosetta Nebula is a vast cloud of dust and gas, extending over an area of more than 1 degree across, or about 5 times the area covered by the full moon. Within the nebula, open star cluster NGC 2244 is situated, consisted of the young stars which recently formed from the nebula's material, and the brightest of which make the nebula shine by exciting its atoms to emit radiation. Star formation is still in progress in this vast cloud of interstellar matter. Although various values for its distance occur in the literature, an avarage value of about 5,500 light - years is generally accepted.

The Rosette Nebula in the Unicorn - The Rosette Nebula and NGC 2244 cluster - The Rosette Nebula is a vast cloud of dust and gas located about 5500 years from Earth. Towards the center of the nebula, a cluster of blue stars, NGC 2244 formed less than a million years ago. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. In the hollowed - out centre of the Rosette nebula lies NGC 2244, the cluster of young stars recently formed there. The cluster has itself created the cavity, radiation pressure and stellar winds from the stars blowing the gas and dust away from the young cluster. The hottest (and brightest) members of the group are seen as distinctly blue on this photograph, a colour corresponding to a surface temperature around 20,000K which may be compared with the Sun's 5500K. The nebula and its cluster is at a distance of about 4500 light years and shows many streaks and globules of dust, remnants of the cloud from which the stars formed

Nebula NGC 2170 in Unicorn - Nebula NGC 2170 in Monoceros - Nebula by reflexion located in the constellation Unicorn. This rich collection of predominantly reflection and sparse emission nebulosity exists in the western part of a vast star forming region known as the Mon R 2 association. The “” R”” designation stands for reflection and indicates an association of stars illuminating reflection nebulae. Most of the members of Mon R 2 are type B stars located along an east - west line stretching across 2 degrees of the winter sky, situated about 8 degrees east of the Orion Nebula. The Mon R 2 association resides at a distance of 830 pc and formed about 6 to 10 million years ago along the edge of the Mon R2 molecular cloud. NGC2170 is a common nebula imaged and yet with long exposures it takes on a whole new look. Many of the nebulae seen here appear to be uncataloged and not previously imaged. This image has been carefully processed to reveal the many faint and dusty nebulae in this regio
