NGC 2002 is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation of Lepus. It is part of a larger complex of nebulae and star-forming regions, showcasing vibrant colors due to the ionization of gas by nearby hot stars. This nebula is approximately 1,500 light-years away from Earth and is often studied for its stellar formation processes. NGC 2002 contains several young, massive stars that contribute to its luminosity and structure, making it an interesting object for astronomers and astrophysicists alike.
