“The Witch Head Nebula” is copyrighted by Jeff Signorelli. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Witch Head Nebula, formally known as IC 2118, is a reflection nebula about 800 light-years away. Its shape resembles a witch's head, glaring toward the bright star Rigel in Orion, just outside this frame. The interstellar cloud of dust and gas spans nearly 70 light-years, with its dust grains reflecting Rigel's starlight.
