“Reflections of the Ghost Nebula” is copyrighted by Bogdan Jarzyna. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Ghost Nebula, VdB 141, is a region of faint, starlight-reflecting clouds in the constellation Cepheus. These clouds are part of the Cepheus Flare molecular cloud complex, about 1,200 light-years away. The ghostly shapes are formed by dust reflecting the light of nearby stars. This area is a cold, dark region where new stars are beginning to form.
