Description

Sh2-282 is a large emission area in the constellation Monoceros. It is an HII region extended for about 50 light years, within which several cometarian structures are known, indicating the presence of eroded phenomena caused by the stellar wind of the nearest spectral class O and B stars, and in particular
HD 47432, a pulsating variable blue giant visible just below the nebula.

Sh2-282 is similar in shape to Sh2-224 known as the Rice Hat Nebula.

Thanks, Eddie
