Description

NGC 2467, the Skull and Crossbones Nebula, is an extremely active stellar nursery that glows in deep reddish tones. Young stars are emitting hot radiation, exciting the nearby gas and causing it to glow and revealing denser gas and dust clouds. Dust lanes and dark globules mark sites of future star formation.
