“The Great Carina Nebula” is copyrighted by Robert Gendler. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Great Carina Nebula, NGC 3372, is a star-forming region spanning over 300 light-years, one of the largest in our galaxy. It's about 7,500 light-years away and is visible to the unaided eye. This telescopic portrait shows details of the glowing interstellar gas and cosmic dust clouds.
