“Cocoon Nebula Deep Field” is copyrighted by Marcel Drechsler (Baerenstein Obs.). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteInside the Cocoon Nebula, cataloged as IC 5146, is a newly developing cluster of stars. This beautiful nebula is nearly 15 light-years wide and about 3,300 light-years away in the northern constellation Cygnus. Like other star-forming regions, it glows red from excited hydrogen gas and blue from starlight reflected by dust at its edges. The nebula also marks a long trail of obscuring interstellar dust clouds.
