NGC 2237, known as the 'Rosette Nebula' for resembling a rose, is located about 5,000 light-years away in the direction of Monoceros. Captured by an observatory in Chile, this nebula shines brightly due to the ultraviolet light and powerful outflows (stellar winds) emanating from a cluster of young stars, NGC 2244, and spreads out like a giant rose blooming in the night sky.
