“Stars and Dust Across Corona Australis” is copyrighted by Andrey Oreshko. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteCosmic dust clouds sprawl across a rich field of stars in Corona Australis, the Southern Crown. Less than 500 light-years away, this dust blocks light from more distant stars. The densest part of the cloud is about eight light-years long, with reflection nebulae like NGC 6726 at its tip.
