The Fox Fur Nebula taken in Halpha on January 15th, 2023 is an enigmatic formation of gas and dust lying in the constellation of Monoceros (the Unicorn) not far off the right arm of Orion. This is a close-up of a small section of a much larger complex, generally known as the Christmas Tree cluster. The mysterious Cone Nebula is also a part of this same cloud. The lighter regions of this nebula are caused by hydrogen gas that has been stimulated to emit its own light by the copious ultraviolet radiation coming from the hot, blue stars of the cluster. Its popular name arises because the nebula looks like the head of a stole made from the fur of a red fox.
