Rosette Nebula - Caldwel 49 - in High Resolution

Rosette nebulae is a Ha region with a circular shape, located close to a giant molecular cloud in Monoceros. Associated with the the nebula, the open cluster NGC 2244 has been formed with material from the nebula

The Rosette Nebula is an emission nebula which is about 5,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Monoceros. The nebula spans about 130 light years in diameter and the central cavity of the nebula is about 50 light years in diameter. The symmetric shape of the petals are sculpted by the winds and radiation from the hot young stars in the central region

Like most emission nebulae, however, the central young stars emit high intensity radiation that also excites other types of elements within the cloud to emit at their own characteristic wavelengths. For instance, sulfur (SII) emits at 673.0 nm, and OIII emits at 500.7 nm (most intense) and, to a lesser extent, at 495.9 nm. By using filters that capture SII, Ha, and OIII emission, it is possible to map these colors into the more conventional R, G, and B color palette, respectively. Assigning these narrowband images in this order (highest to lowest wavelengths) to R, G, and B defines the Hubble Palette, which is how the above image was constructed.

Oserve the dark filaments present on the nebula.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
