APOD 3.5

Seen above is an example of a reflection nebula, in this case, Merope's reflection nebula. Reflection nebulas are characterized by a large amount of carbon dust which is able to reflect blue light more easily.

APOD 3.4

Seen above is the Rosette Nebula which resides in the constellation Monoceros. I thought that this APOD would be more relevant than others seeing as how Monoceros was one of our constellations of the week.
