NGC 2244 – The Heart of the Rosette Nebula

Captured by Bray Falls, this stunning image reveals NGC 2244 — a bright open star cluster nestled within the Rosette Nebula, located in the constellation Monoceros, the Unicorn. The young, massive stars in NGC 2244 are just a few million years old and illuminate the surrounding clouds of gas and dust, carving out the nebula’s iconic rose-like shape.

A breathtaking glimpse into a cosmic nursery where new stars are born!

Discovery Rolls Back for Repairs

On May 16, 1999, Space Shuttle Discovery was slowly rolled back to the Vehicle Assembly Building after hail damaged the foam insulation on its external tank. The repairs couldn't be done at Launch Pad 39B due to limited access, so the shuttle had to return — something that’s only happened 13 times since 1981.

The repairs are expected to take two to three days, after which Discovery will return to the pad for the STS-96 mission — the 94th launch of the Space Shuttle Program.

STS-96 is a logistics and resupply mission to the International Space Station, carrying equipment like the Russian Strela crane, a U.S.-built crane, the SHOSS cargo box, and STARSHINE — a student-led science experiment.

Did a planet get destroyed by the white dwarf that’s the source at the center of the Helix Nebula?

Using data from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory to study the nebula, scientists determined the mysteriously strong X-ray signal coming where white dwarf WD 2226-210 sits. Young white dwarfs like WD 2226-210 do not typically give off strong X-rays. This X-ray signal could be the debris from a destroyed planet being pulled onto the white dwarf.

The Helix Nebula—seen in this composite image using data from Chandra, the Hubble Space Telescope, and other observatories—is a planetary nebula, the remnant of a star like our sun that has shed its outer layers, leaving a small dim star at its center called a white dwarf.
