“The Witch Head Nebula” is copyrighted by Gary Stevens. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Witch Head Nebula, a faint reflection nebula in the constellation Eridanus. Its shape resembles a witch's profile, illuminated by the supergiant star Rigel, located just outside the frame. The dust in the nebula reflects Rigel's blue light, giving it a distinct color.
