“NGC 7023: The Iris Nebula” is copyrighted by Tony Hallas. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Iris Nebula, cataloged as NGC 7023, is a cloud of interstellar dust and gas located 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. This remarkable image reveals the nebula's range of colors and symmetries. Within the Iris, dusty nebular material surrounds a hot, young star. The dominant blue hues are caused by starlight scattering off the dust particles.
