“The Iris Nebula from CFHT” is copyrighted by Jean-Charles Cuillandre. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThese clouds of interstellar dust and gas have blossomed 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. Sometimes called the Iris Nebula, or NGC 7023, this nebula evokes the imagery of flowers. This digital image shows off its range of colors and symmetries. Dusty nebular material within the Iris surrounds a massive, hot, young star.
