“The Medusa Nebula” is copyrighted by Josep Drudis. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Medusa Nebula, also known as Abell 21, is an old planetary nebula about 1,500 light-years away in Gemini. Its braided and serpentine filaments of glowing gas suggest its popular name. This planetary nebula phase represents a final stage in the evolution of low-mass stars like the Sun, as they transform from red giants to hot white dwarf stars.
