The Rosette Nebula
===============

What better way to start the new year than capturing some new photons, right?

This is called the rosette nebula. Located around 5000 lightyears from earth and spreading to a diameter of roughly 130 lightyears, the radiation from the young stars excites the atoms in the nebula, causing them to emit radiation themselves producing the emission nebula we see.
