“When Roses Aren't Red” is copyrighted by Eric Coles. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Rosette Nebula is a star-forming region about 5,000 light-years away in Monoceros. It's often shown in red, due to hydrogen emission. However, this image uses a different color palette, showing the nebula's complex structure in blue and gold. This allows us to see other elements at play, beyond just hydrogen.
