The Rosette Nebula and its stellar heart 

This image from the 4-meter Blanco telescope at the Cerro Tololo Observatory in Chile shows the Rosette Nebula. It is a bright region of star formation. Inside it is the open cluster NGC 2244, consisting of young stars that formed about X million years ago from the same material that forms the nebula itself. Now their powerful stellar winds are blowing a hole in the center of the nebula, forming a recognizable "rosette" structure.

The Rosette extends for XXX light-years and is located at a distance of about XXXXX light-years from Earth. It can be seen even in a small telescope, especially under good observing conditions.
