Just about 2,700 light years away, these stars form the constellation called Monoceros the unicorn. This picture includes dark interstellar dust cloud and a blue reflection of nebulas. A few of these nebulas are the Fox Fur Nebula and the Cone Nebula. This cluster is commonly known as the Christmas tree cluster due to its triangular shape. The top of the triangle is the Cone Nebula and the opposite side of the triangle is S Mon.
