“Comet SOHO and Nebulae in Orion” is copyrighted by M. Horn. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis view of Comet SOHO was captured in the night sky above Wandibindle, Australia. The comet moved against the background of the nebula-rich constellation Orion. The picture shows SOHO's bright head and a long tail extending past the glowing gas clouds and dark dust lanes of the Flame and Horsehead nebulae. Alnitak, a bright star, is visible above and to the right of the comet's coma.
