The Rosette Nebula is one of the most stunning heavenly sights, but nearly impossible to see visually through a telescope. It is known as an emission nebula with active star formation in the center. This star formation heats the surrounding gas to 6 million kelvins generates vast amounts of x-rays in addition to the light we see in this image. Simply stunning!
