      A starfield is covered with a light red glow. Several nebulas are seen   
       near the center. The famous Rosette nebula appears in blue and white   
        near the image bottom. Please see the explanation for more detailed   
                                   information.

      Explanation: Can you find the Rosette Nebula? The red flowery-looking   
      nebula just above the image center may seem a good choice, but that's   
      not it. The famous Rosette Nebula is really located on the lower right,   
      here colored blue and white, and connected to the other nebulas by   
      gold-colored filaments. Because the featured image of Rosette's field   
      is so wide, and because of its deep red exposure, it seems to contain   
      other flowers. Designated NGC 2237, the center of the Rosette Nebula is   
      populated by the bright blue stars of open cluster NGC 2244, whose   
      winds and energetic light are evacuating the nebula's center. The   
      Rosette Nebula is about 5,000 light years distant and, just by itself,   
      spans about three times the diameter of a full moon. This flowery field   
      can be found toward the constellation of the Unicorn (Monoceros).
