Dust and Light in the Rosette Nebula

I don’t understand why the shape is said to be so wonderful. I read the page, and apparently the thing is shaped like a flower? I don’t see it, myself.

This one make the name go better?

Or this one?

No. They’re all just nebulas like all the other nebulas you’ve posted about (I specifically remember the Cat’s Eye nebula–was that the first?). I don’t see how this nebula is supposed to look more flower-like than all the others have. :frowning:

They’re all the same nebula.

Taken’ any science classes? A lot of the scientists don’t get out much… :wink:

Right now, no. I’ve been in the observatory though. Or mabey it’s not called the observatory, it’s something like an observatory, though. At any rate, in the same building I discovered dead animals and (I think?) babies in jars, so I left quickly.

That may have been a la-bor-a -tory.

Oh, you mean the place where women go when they’re in la-bor? :boggle:
