{"product_id":"cone-nebula-ngc-2264-hubble-space-telescope-image","title":"Cone Nebula (NGC 2264) – Hubble Space Telescope Image","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cone Nebula, NGC 2264, rises through this Hubble Space Telescope image as a dark, sharply bounded silhouette amid luminous red and blue nebulosity. Its tapering form dominates the centre of the frame, appearing almost sculpted against the brighter material beyond. Above it, an intense white-yellow glow gathers within a pale halo, while fine points of light punctuate the surrounding colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLocated in the constellation Monoceros, the nebula lies approximately 3,000 light years from Earth. That considerable distance gives added force to the image’s remarkable intricacy: the irregular outline of the cone, the faint structures crossing darker regions and the delicate wisps around the brightest upper area remain distinctly visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette moves between deep crimson, cool blue and blue-grey, with darkness serving as an active part of the composition rather than an empty background. Warm colour fills much of the upper field, while quieter, cooler tones collect towards the lower right. The result is an image shaped as much by concealment and contrast as by light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA closer look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlong the cone’s left edge, the boundary is never entirely smooth. Small notches and subtle changes in darkness give the silhouette a granular, weathered appearance, while its brighter rim separates it crisply from the surrounding cloud. Near the centre, tiny star-like points emerge against both the dark formation and the coloured field, introducing a finer scale of detail within the larger structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper portion is more diffuse and luminous. Red and blue swirls converge around the brightest region, from which delicate wisps appear to spread into the surrounding field. At lower left, much fainter filaments merge gradually into shadow; towards the lower right, soft blue-grey patches recede into a subdued haze. Seen at large scale, these quieter transitions become as compelling as the brilliant upper centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImage details and provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cone Nebula, NGC 2264\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObject type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Milky Way nebula\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monoceros\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistance from Earth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,000 light years\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTelescope:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hubble Space Telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal release date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 April 2002, 15:00\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage credit:\u003c\/strong\u003e NASA , Holland Ford (JHU), the ACS Science Team and ESA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing the right size and finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFine art can feel intimate at smaller sizes and more architectural at larger ones.
