Scientists Find X-Rays from Stellar Winds That May Play Significant Role in Galactic Evolution
A smoothed X-ray map of the Rosette Nebula region. The colors represent the energy of the X-radiation: red shows low-energy (0.5-2 keV) X-rays while blue shows high-energy (2-8 keV) emission. The mosaic is formed from four ACIS images, starting with the OB association at the center of the Rosette Nebula on the right and stepping southeast (left) into the Rosette Molecular Cloud.
