Description

The Rosette Nebula ( Also known as the Skull or Caldwell 45 Nebula)

This beautiful target is currently rolling over your head every night (if in the southern hemisphere) just to the right and under Orion's belt. It is ~4200 light years from Earth. A survey of this region has revealed a presence of numerous newborn stars and Aliens (just checking if youre reading this). 

I hope you enjoy this beautiful image. Make sure you look up when the sky is clear and look out for a shooting star!
