1.4 APOD blog

I just took the constellation quiz, and one of the constellations we had to know was "Monoceros". This means unicorn, and it has a nebula referred to as Rosette. A photo on the APOD blog taken by Rogelio Andreo is called "field of Rosette". How appropriate! Anywho, in the nebula is a shape like a flower, and represents valentines day. There are many open clustered stars in this nebula. This nebula is five thousand light years distant from Earth! Holy guac!
