“Still Life with NGC 2170” is copyrighted by Stefan Seip. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteIn this celestial still life, the dusty nebula NGC 2170 shines in the upper left, reflecting light from nearby hot stars. Other bluish reflection nebulae and a compact red emission region are set against a backdrop of stars. These clouds of gas, dust, and hot stars are commonly found in this setting. This region is a massive, star-forming molecular cloud.
