“Reflection Nebula NGC 1435” is copyrighted by Yuugi Kitahara. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteReflection nebulae, like NGC 1435, glow by reflecting light from nearby stars. The nebula's small carbon grains scatter blue light more efficiently than red, giving it a characteristic blue hue. NGC 1435 surrounds Merope, one of the brightest stars in the Pleiades, illuminating the dust around it.
