The Rosette Nebula’s Bright Cluster of Stars
The featured image of the Rosette Nebula’s bright cluster of stars captures its central region in tremendous detail. It was taken in mid-January using multiple exposures and very specific colors of Sulfur (shaded red), Hydrogen (green), and Oxygen (blue). A hot wind of particles streams away from the cluster stars and contributes to an already complex menagerie of gas and dust filaments.
