Space Time
Also known as Cone, NGC 2264 Cone.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.
Cone Nebula image-field center is placed at J2000 RA 6.7 h, Dec 9.4° in Monoceros, at an adopted distance of 2,500 light-years.
Cone Nebula (star-forming emission nebula; central source Cone Nebula, embedded stellar population): projected footprint at the adopted distance 5 × 5.1 light-years; outer radius used for arrival 2.6 light-years.
A close field within NGC 2264, not the whole Christmas Tree Cluster. The Cone is absorbing dust, not a solid mountain. Projected structure follows the credited observation at its published angular scale and an approximate adopted distance. Shallow depth is illustrative, not measured tomography. The source palette is preserved; brightness is adjusted for the navigable view.
