“NGC 2626 along the Vela Molecular Ridge” is copyrighted by Mike Selby. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteNGC 2626 is a bright, blue reflection nebula located in the southern Milky Way. It sits within the Vela Molecular Ridge, a complex of dusty molecular clouds. The nebula reflects blue light from a young, hot star embedded within it. Reddish hydrogen emission from the large H II region RCW 27 surrounds NGC 2626, creating a colorful cosmic canvas.
