🧵
In this gorgeous image, Lyman Insley captured the bright heart of the Rosette Nebula where lies NGC 2244 (Caldwell 50 or Satellite Cluster), an open cluster located some 5,200 ly away in Monoceros.

NGC 2244 consists of hot, blue stars denoting a young age

🔭 🧪

The image shows the heart of the Rosette Nebula, a vast cloud of gas and dust in space. It is a vibrant astronomical image, with a cluster of bright stars (NGC 2244) at the center, shining with white or pale yellow light, like a sparkling chandelier. The nebula is illuminated in vivid colors: red (sulfur), green (hydrogen) and blue (oxygen). The red areas appear as soft warm glows, the green/turquoise ones form a diffuse and predominant haze, while the blue adds ethereal touches, similar to thin veils of fog. Filaments of gas and dust, like wisps of smoke or translucent curtains, weave across the scene, with some darker areas where dust obscures the light. The center, similar to a deep cavity, is dotted with distant stars, giving a sense of cosmic vastness. The image conveys a sense of energy, with a wind of particles that seems to radiate from the central stars, creating a dynamic, three-dimensional effect.

Just a little blep. The cutest! :3

A black and white cat with bright yellow eyes and a tiny pink tongue sticking out, wearing a yellow polka dot bow tie and looking adorably serious under a cat tower. A perfect little blep.
