Description

I was thinking of my wife Stephanie when I captured this image of the Rosette Nebula on January 29, 2022. This nebula gets its name from the resemblance to a rose flower.

This emission nebula is about 5,200 light years from Earth and is about 130 light years wide. The central hole is about 30 light years across. Stellar winds from the cluster of stars in the middle of the hole have swept out the central hole of this nebula.
