Rosette Nebula
The Rosette Nebula (NGC 2237–39, 2244) is a large H II region and stellar nursery about 5,200 light‑years away in the constellation Monoceros. Spanning roughly 100 light‑years, it consists of a central cavity surrounded by ionized gas illuminated and sculpted by the young star cluster NGC 2244, with pillars, cavities, and ongoing star formation.
