“In the Heart of the Rosette Nebula” is copyrighted by Lyman Insley. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAt the heart of the Rosette Nebula is NGC 2244, a cluster of young stars that formed a few million years ago. These stars emit a hot wind of particles that shapes the surrounding gas and dust. This image, taken with multiple exposures, highlights the central region in specific colors of sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen. The nebula is a dynamic environment where new stars are still influencing their birthplace.
