“IC 2574: Coddington's Nebula” is copyrighted by Stephen Leshin. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteGrand spiral galaxies often get all the glory, but small, irregular galaxies form stars too. Dwarf galaxy IC 2574 shows clear evidence of intense star-forming activity in its pinkish regions of glowing hydrogen gas. Just as in spiral galaxies, the turbulent star-forming regions in IC 2574 are churned by stellar winds and supernova explosions. These events spew material into the galaxy's interstellar medium.
