“NGC 6188: Dragons of Ara” is copyrighted by Carlos Taylor. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteIn the southern constellation Ara, the Altar, thin gas and dust form the intricate shapes of NGC 6188. This emission nebula is about 4,000 light-years away, near the edge of a vast molecular cloud that's invisible to us. Massive, young stars, only a few million years old, are sculpting these dark forms and powering the nebula's glow.
