“NGC 6888: The Crescent Nebula” is copyrighted by Michael Miller. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Crescent Nebula, NGC 6888, is a cosmic bubble twenty-five light-years across. It was blown by winds from its central, massive Wolf-Rayet star, WR 136. This image uses narrow-band data to isolate light from hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The oxygen atoms create the blue-green hue that envelops the detailed folds and filaments of the nebula.
