“Young Suns of NGC 7129” is copyrighted by Ken Crawford. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThree thousand light-years away in Cepheus, young suns still glow in NGC 7129. These stars are only a few million years old, much younger than our own Sun. Bluish dust clouds reflect the starlight, and deep red crescent shapes mark energetic, young stellar objects. Our Sun likely formed in a similar stellar nursery five billion years ago.
