“NGC 1788 and the Witch's Whiskers” is copyrighted by John Davis. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis cosmic scene in Orion features the Witch Head Nebula, a bluish reflection nebula illuminated by the bright star Rigel. Its 'whiskers' are traces of red-glowing hydrogen gas, ionized by ultraviolet starlight. These threads connect to smaller nebulae, including the dusty reflection nebula NGC 1788, all shaped by strong winds from Orion's massive stars.
