“Dust and Light in the Rosette Nebula” is copyrighted by Nicolas Outters (Observatoire d'Orange). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Rosette Nebula, also known as NGC 2244, contains cosmic dust sculptures. These dark globules of dust and gas are slowly being eroded by the energetic light and winds from nearby massive stars. If left undisturbed, these molecular cloud globules would likely form new stars and planets. The Rosette Nebula spans about 50 light-years and is home to these ongoing processes.
