COSMIC MESSAGE
The Cone Nebula, the Fox Fur Nebula, and the Christmas Tree Cluster all occur in the constellation Monoceros, the Unicorn. Pictured as a star-forming region and cataloged as NGC 2264, this complex jumble of cosmic gas and dust is about 2,700 light-years distant. It mixes reddish emission nebulae, excited by energetic light from newborn stars, with dark interstellar dust clouds.
