The Rosette Nebula is an emission nebula, a large star forming region located in the constellation Monoceros. The nebula is a large cloud of gas and dust that lies near a large molecular cloud and is closely associated with the open cluster NGC2244, whose stars were formed from the nebula’s matter in the last five million years.

The nebula is a region of intense star formation. The stellar winds from the young stars inside the nebula exert pressure on interstellar clouds and the compression leads to ongoing star forming activity in the nebula. The Rosette Nebula contains very hot young stars in its central region. The gas surrounding these stars has a temperature of 6 million kelvins and as a result the stars emit intense amounts of X-ray radiation. The nebula’s estimated mass is about 10,000 solar masses, which makes the Rosette one of the more massive emission nebulae known.

The nebula has several New General Catalogue designations: NGC2237 (cluster), NGC2238 (cluster), NGC2239 (obsolete name for NGC2244), and NGC2246 are all parts of the nebulous region, while NGC2244 is the bright open cluster located within the nebula.

In addition to the Rosette, the nebula SH2-280 in the upper left corner can be found in this image.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

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.
