“NGC 2170: Still Life with Reflecting Dust” is copyrighted by Adam Block. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteNGC 2170 is a dusty nebula reflecting the light of nearby hot stars. It shines at the upper left of this celestial still life. Other bluish reflection nebulae, a compact red emission region, and streamers of obscuring dust are also visible. These clouds of gas, dust, and hot stars are commonly found in massive, star-forming regions.
