Sh2-284

Sh2-284 is an emission nebula located in the constellation Monoceros, about 15,000 light-years from Earth. This nebula is a vast region of active star formation and is cataloged in the Sharpless catalog of HII regions, which lists regions of ionized hydrogen gas where star formation occurs. Sh2-284 is a fascinating and active region of star formation located in the constellation Monoceros. Its complex structures, young stellar population, and the presence of the cluster Dolidze 25 make it an important subject of study for understanding the birth and evolution of stars.
