这是一幅画还是一张照片？在这幅用宇宙画笔创作的天体抽象艺术中，尘埃星云NGC 2170，也被称为天使星云，在图像中心上方闪闪发光。反射附近热恒星的光，NGC 2170被其他蓝色反射星云，红色发射区，许多深色吸收星云和彩色恒星的背景所加入。就像抽象画家经常选择作为他们主题的常见家居物品一样，这里的气体云、尘埃和热恒星也经常出现在这样的环境中——独角兽星座（麒麟座）中一个巨大的、正在形成恒星的分子云。巨大的分子云Mon R2离我们非常近，估计只有2400光年左右。在这个距离上，这幅画布的宽度将超过60光年。

Is this a painting or a photograph? In this celestial abstract art composed with a cosmic brush, dusty nebula NGC 2170, also known as the Angel Nebula, shines just above the image center. Reflecting the light of nearby hot stars, NGC 2170 is joined by other bluish reflection nebulae, a red emission region, many dark absorption nebulae, and a backdrop of colorful stars. Like the common household items that abstract painters often choose for their subjects, the clouds of gas, dust, and hot stars featured here are also commonly found in a setting like this one -- a massive, star-forming molecular cloud in the constellation of the Unicorn (Monoceros). The giant molecular cloud, Mon R2, is impressively close, estimated to be only 2,400 light-years or so away. At that distance, this canvas would be over 60 light-years across.
