The Rosette Nebula
The Rosette Nebula is a very bright and very large emission complex in
the constellation of Monoceres. The open cluster NGC 2244 contains many hot
young stars whose stellar winds are slowly hollowing out the nebula. The
Rosette is nearly 2° in size and is easily found in just about any amateur
telescope.
