NGC 2467, nicknamed the "Skull and Crossbones Nebula",[3] is a star-forming region whose appearance has occasionally also been likened to that of a colorful mandrill. It includes areas where large clouds of hydrogen gas incubate new stars.[4] This region was one of the areas featured in the book Hubble's Universe: Greatest Discoveries and Latest Images by Terence Dickinson.[5][nb 1]
