Rosette Eye is a modern star name adopted by the International Astronomical Union in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN). Its origin is modern English. It is the name of the invisible YSO RAFGL 961 in constellation [[Monoceros]].

==Concordance, Etymology, History==
The Young Stellar Object (YSO) is observed only in infrared bands. 

The name occurred in the title of the research paper Li et al. (2008)<ref>Li, J. Z., Smith, M. D., Gredel, R., Davis, C. J., and Rector, T. A., “The Rosette Eye: The Key Transition Phase in the Birth of a Massive Star”, <nowiki><i>The Astrophysical Journal</i></nowiki>, vol. 679, no. 2, IOP, pp. L101–L104, 2008. doi:10.1086/589445.</ref>: "The Rosette Eye: the key transition phase in the birth of a massive star." and has been used in Simbad since then. 

The explanation is given in the abstract: <blockquote>Its morphology closely resembles a cat's eye and is here dubbed the ``Rosette Eye.''"''</blockquote>

==Mythology==

==IAU Working Group on Star Names==
The name was adopted by the IAU WGSN in 2026, as it has been in popular use among astrophysicists and listed in SIMBAD already.
