Description

The Rosette Nebula NGC 2237 is a large H II region of roughly circular shape located at the edge of a giant molecular nebula, in the constellation of the Unicorn.

The nebula is located at a distance of about 5200 light years from the solar system; it has an approximate size of 100 light years.

The Rosette Nebula is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky

In the northwestern area of ​​the nebula, thin dark veins are observed, clearly evident in the photos, together with small cocoons: these are Bok globules, i.e. denser regions within which new stars form.
