“Nebula with Laser Beams” is copyrighted by Stéphane Guisard. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteFour laser beams cut across the Orion Nebula in this image from ESO's Paranal Observatory. These aren't signs of interstellar conflict, but rather part of an adaptive optics system on UT4, one of the observatory's Very Large Telescopes. The lasers sharpen observations of Orion, captured here by a smaller telescope outside the UT4 enclosure.
