“In the Center of the Rosette Nebula” is copyrighted by MegaPrime Camera, Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteIn the heart of the Rosette Nebula lies a bright open cluster of stars, NGC 2244, that lights up the nebula. These stars formed from the surrounding gas only a few million years ago. This image, taken by the CFHT's new MegaPrime camera, shows the region in unprecedented detail. Although the emission nebula is dominated by red hydrogen light, this image exaggerates the effect of green light emitted by small amounts of oxygen. A hot wind of particles streams away from the cluster's central region.
