The star cluster NGC2244 and the associated nebulosity known as the Rosette Nebula in Monoceros. It is the brilliant O class stars highly energetic in the short wavelength ultra violet that excites the hydrogen gas cloud. The highly energetic solar wind from these O class stars are creating a bubble in the gas cloud , eventually blowing the cloud apart.
