WARNING - DUE TO THE REPETITIVE NATURE OF THIS PUZZLE PICTURE - IT IS EXTREMELY CHALLENGING
NGC 1893 is a faint, dusty rose in the northern sky. It is an emission nebula which lies about 11,900 light-years away in the constellation Auriga. The cloud of glowing hydrogen gas is over 100 light-years across, formed by stellar winds and radiation from the embedded open star cluster NGC 1893. Formed in the interstellar cloud a few million years ago, are bright cluster stars seen just below the prominent dark dust cloud near picture center. Notable in this panorama of stars are two relatively dense streamers of material trailing away from the nebula's central regions. These are potential sites for ongoing star formation along a path 10 light-years long. -- Stargazer Wilson
