“The Iris Nebula in a Field of Dust” is copyrighted by Mikel Mart�nez. 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, NGC 7023, is a reflection nebula in a field of dark dust. Its striking blue color comes from light from the star SAO 19158 reflecting off dense dust. Blue light is preferentially reflected, similar to how Earth's sky appears blue. The surrounding dust has a brown tint, partly due to photoluminescence.
