Look at those stars. The nebula is gorgeous, obviously, but this picture really accentuates the brightness and size of the stars located through the whole in the color. It's almost as if the heavens are opening up. This is a background worthy picture. The stars inside are considered a cluster, and a relatively new one at that. The stars stellar winds are clearing the hole in the nebula. That is AWESOME. Ultraviolet light from around the nebula causes it to glow. It spans about 100 light years across and is approximately 5000 light years away from Earth. It is located in the constellation Monoceros.
