“NGC 7380: The Wizard Nebula” is copyrighted by Rolf Geissinger. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Wizard Nebula, NGC 7380, is an active star-forming region about 8,000 light-years away. Within its 100-light-year span, gravity forms new stars. Stellar winds and radiation from these stars then sculpt and dissolve the surrounding gas and dust, creating the nebula's distinctive shape.
