This picture takes place in Monoceros, a one horned constellation. It is photographing part of Monoceros's star forming region which explains the amount of activity in this picture. NGC 2170 is the prettiest part of the picture. It is a nebula with a blueish tint. When viewed through a near infared spectrum there are signs that indicate there are many new stars forming, giant stars. Winds and radiation from the star forming are changing the surrounding clouds and space. This is a very volatile area of out universe. The picture is incredible in appearance which is why I chose to do it. Not too much is actually going on besides what has already been mentioned. It's simply a perfect illustration of the beauty of the universe.
