A Mysterious Cone Nebula - March 1st, 1996.

"Sometimes the simplest shapes are the hardest to explain. For example, the origin of the mysterious cone-shaped region located just below the center of the above picture remains a mystery. The dark region clearly contains much dust, which blocks light from the emission nebula and open cluster NGC 2264 behind it. One hypothesis holds that the cone is formed by wind particles from an energetic source blowing past the Bok globule at the head of the cone."

Christmas Tree Cluster

A fascinating open star cluster with associated bright and dark nebulae.

… and the Cone Nebula NGC 2264 Complex in Monoceros Image exposure: 120 MinutesImage Size: 2.11 º x 1.4ºImage date:2024-03-05 The NGC 2264 complex is a huge nebula of hydrogen which forms a tenuous star-forming gas cloud approximately 25 light years across and some 2,300 light years distant. It also contains a dark nebula and an association of over a hundred hot young stars. Most of the…

It’s summertime, so let’s enjoy 🍦! The Cone Nebula, shown in this Hubble Space Telescope photo, could pack a lot of ice cream into its 2.5 light-year-long expanse. It resides in a turbulent star-forming region. Within the dark pillar, a new generation of stars is being born. Ultraviolet light from nearby, massive stars heats the edges of the dark cloud, releasing gas into the surrounding space to create the glowing, red tendrils seen throughout the image.

ALT TEXT: A wide, dark pillar surrounded by wispy red tendrils extends from lower left to upper right across most of the frame. The cone-shaped pillar narrows gradually to a smooth, rounded top. Several bright stars are seen at the top of the pillar, while a few more stars are in the background to either side in the top third of the image. A shorter pillar at lower right joins into the larger one.

Protostar in LDN 1527 by Judy Schmidt Via Flickr: Update: Simeon Schmauß over on Twitter (@stim3on) recommended G'MIC for taking care of the horizontal noise / banding. It worked pretty great. There's a Photoshop plugin for it, too. Wanted to process my own version of this one, since nebular landscapes are some of my favorite views. Having a hard time with the linear noise pattern, especially near the top of the image. In the center of this view is a newly forming star crossed by a dark disk of dust (say that three times fast!) which is casting shadows to the left and right, and allowing cones of light out the top and bottom. Think of it like a light bulb inside of a donut with a bunch of fog. Though the infrared light can penetrate much of the dust, there are clues in the image that show some of the dust is still too thick to see through. At the lower right especially are a lot of background galaxies. On the left, the background galaxies are fewer, and what we see are dimmer, so we can tell there is more dust there. You can see the official release here. They've got a much better description than I could ever write.
