“IC 4592: The Blue Horsehead Reflection Nebula” is copyrighted by Mario Cogo. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis reflection nebula, IC 4592, forms a blue horsehead shape in the constellation Scorpius. It is not the famous Horsehead in Orion. The blue light is from nearby stars reflecting off fine dust. The dust itself would normally appear dark, but it glows when illuminated by energetic starlight.
