COSMIC MESSAGE
At the heart of the Rosette Nebula is NGC 2244, a bright open cluster of stars. These stars formed from the surrounding gas only four million years ago. Their light and stellar winds shape the nebula's appearance. High-energy light from these young stars ionizes the hydrogen gas, creating the red emission nebula.
