Description

The heart of the rosette nebula (NGC 2237) at 5200 light-years from the Earth in the constellation of Monoceros, with the open cluster NGC 2244 within it, made up of young stars, born within the same nebula.

The heart also contains Bok globules, dense regions of star birth, which look like a theory of animals.
