Skull and Crossbones Nebula

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"NGC 2467 is a star-forming region, popularly known as the "Skull and Crossbones nebula," whose appearance has occasionally also been likened to that of a colorful mandrill. It includes areas where large clouds of hydrogen gas incubate new stars. This region was one of the areas featured in the book, Hubble's Universe: Greatest Discoveries and Latest Images by Terence Dickinson."
