“NGC 6727: The Rampaging Baboon Nebula” is copyrighted by Alpha Zhang & Ting Yu. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis dusty region, NGC 6727, is a stellar nursery located about 500 light-years away in the constellation Corona Australis. It's part of a larger molecular cloud complex that some astronomers call the 'Rampaging Baboon Nebula.' The brown dust clouds block light from more distant stars, revealing embedded stars that are still forming.
