“Tulip Nebula and Black Hole Cygnus X-1” is copyrighted by Anirudh Shastry. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Tulip Nebula blossoms about 8,000 light-years away in Cygnus the Swan. Ultraviolet radiation from young, energetic stars, including O star HDE 227018, ionizes the atoms and powers its emission. This region is also home to Cygnus X-1, a black hole. Stewart Sharpless cataloged this complex and beautiful nebula.
