Description

NGC 2264 includes the cone nebula (on top) and the Christmas Tree Cluster, a star cluster that resembles a Christmas Tree with its triangular shape. In the middle is the Fox Fur Nebula. I cropped it like this because I think the whole thing looks like a Christmas Tree with an angel on top . Merry Christmas!
