Rosette Nebula- ” The Little Rose”
Rosette: Legend has it that the first rose bloomed when Aphrodite emerged from the sea foam, and from that moment, roses became a symbol of love and passion. In Roman mythology, Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, was often depicted with roses adorning her hair or scattered at her feet. The association of the name Rosette with these powerful and enchanting goddesses added a touch of mystique and elegance to the name’s historical significance.
