In Monoceros there is a nebula that reminds lookers of flora here on Earth, the Rosette Nebula. It carries ionized hydrogen which allows us to see a reddish-hue in the visible spectrum. What is puzzling is why this large volume of gas and dust is not producing stars that are about the same size as its neighbor Orion. Regardless, the Unicorn in the nighttime sky has one of the most beautiful nebulae; the young hot stars radiate nicely in this stellar nursery.
