“NGC 2244: A Star Cluster in the Rosette Nebula” is copyrighted by Don Goldman. 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 NGC 2244, a bright open cluster of stars. These stars formed from the surrounding gas only a few million years ago. Hot winds of particles stream away from the cluster stars. This image, taken in January, uses specific colors of Sulfur, Hydrogen, and Oxygen to capture the central region in detail.
