“The Dark Tower in Scorpius” is copyrighted by Martin Pugh. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis dark cloud in Scorpius is almost 40 light-years across, a vast region where new stars are forming. It appears in silhouette against a dense field of stars. Intense ultraviolet radiation from nearby hot, young stars shapes the cloud, giving it a swept-back, cometary appearance.
