A recent image I took of the Rosette Nebula in Monoceros. About 5,000 light years away and about 130 light years across. An active star-forming nebula with lots of hot young stars, some of which have blown the 'bubble' in the centre.

What a beautiful image!

The cosmos is there we come from.

Earth is the small planet, there we make our stand (Carl Sagan). Ther are thousands of planets in the making in this image. Will there be life on one of these? Might there be conscious beings developing on one of those?

We still do not know. Let's "...deal more kindly with one another, and preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." (Carl again)
