As some of you already know, I kinda have a geek love for space and astronomy, so sometimes I veer off-topic on the blog.
The Fox Fur Nebula is currently one of my favorites. There are many images of this nebula that have different angles and enhanced coloring, but this particular image is my favorite.

The nebula gets its name because it looks like the head of a stole made of fox fur. It is a part of NGC 2264, which is 2,700 light years from Earth and located in the Monoceros constellation.
That’s stunning. I’m off to Google some more pics of it.
There are many different views. I like this one because the colors are so vibrant.
It’s gorgeous!!
Gorgeous! I love all the astronomy pics you pin too, btw. They’re so, so pretty!
Wowza. That is unreal.
It’s absolutely gorgeous! I think I may have to put this one on my Pinterest board.
