Scientific paper

The use of a photographic enhancement technique to reveal a family of four Bok globules with tails, or 'cometary' globules, in the southeast quadrant of the Rosette nebula, NGC 2237 - 2246, is reported. The globules are not visible on R-glass copies of the National Geographic/Palomar Observatory Sky Survey. The tails of the globules all point away from the IRAS source 06314 + 0427, the position of which coincides with the peak of CO emission. The far-IR luminosity of 06314 + 0427 is estimated to be a factor of at least 880 greater than the sun's luminosity, with a total energy output enough to drive a stellar wind that could produce the observed globules.
