See it on NASA's siteNGC 2170 is a reflection nebula, shining near the center of this celestial image. It reflects light from nearby hot stars, giving it a bluish hue. The scene also includes other blue reflection nebulae, a red emission region, and numerous dark absorption nebulae. This cosmic still life is set against a backdrop of colorful stars, all commonly found in star-forming regions.
