Description

"MONKEY HEAD NEBULA" Technically Known as NGC 2174 Located at 6400 Light years from us. Young stars near the center of the nebula (Star cluster NGC 2175) generate stellar winds and high energy radiation that causes the nebula's material to shift into complex shapes. The nebula is primarily composed of hydrogen which glows at infrared wavelengths due to the radiation.(wiki)
