Picture of Flower shaped Nebula NGC 2237

The NASA 's Wide-field Infrared Explorer (WISE) has captured a beautiful pic of a flower shaped nebula (NGC 2237).



Nebula NGC 2237 cannot be viewed with our naked eyes but at the center of flower there is nebula NGC 2244 which is made up of cluster of young stars and it can be viewed with the help of a good telescope.

NGC 2237 is 4,500 to 5,000 light-years away from our galaxy.

    My fave stars are the blue ones, its so hard to imagine that there are actually blue stars out there- that is why i like their unique quality. hope you'll feature them

    You can have a view of Nebula NGC 2237 not with naked eyes but at the center of flower there is nebula NGC 2244 which is made up of cluster of young stars and it can be viewed with the help of a good telescope
