Description

This is the open cluster NGC 2244 at the center of the Rosette Nebula and a detail view of the southern part of the nebula. The super hot O-type stars of NGC 2244 generate intense radiation and stellar wind to shape the Rosette Nebula. Their influence is apparent in this part of the nebula with bow shocks and long columns of interstellar gas and dust.
