The Rosette is a cosmic cloud of dust and gas, that also resembles flowers. At the ledge of the large molecular clouds in the constellation Monocerous. These stars are in the NGC 2244 and are only a few million years old. This nebula can be seen first hand with a small telescope toward the constellation Monocerous. The 'petals' of this Nebula are sculpted by the winds and the radiation from its hot, young central stars.
