In 2264, the cluster is 2700 light years away. Surrounding the cluster is a huge fuzzy diffuse nebula. NGC

2264 open cluster is surrounded by complex and chaotic cosmic gas and dust, which are mixed with red noctilucent clouds. They are excited by high-energy light emitted by newly formed stars in dark clouds. Around the shape, interstellar dust covering the stars reflects starlight to form blue reflection clouds.
