A ring of glowing gas that looks like a rose seen from above, with a cluster of young stars as its heart. Those stars blew the central hole themselves: their winds and radiation push the gas outward like a slow explosion in bloom. The whole flower is so large that five full Moons would fit across it in our sky.
