In the Center of the Rosette Nebula
In 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.
In tropical astrology, 29 APR 2003 falls under Taurus (♉). The sign's window runs from 04-20 through 05-20. Taurus holds the Pleiades star cluster and Aldebaran, the red giant that marks the eye of the Bull. The Sun was crossing this region of the sky on 29 APR 2003.
