“NGC 6888: The Crescent Nebula” is copyrighted by Team ARO. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Crescent Nebula, NGC 6888, was created by the brightest star at its center, a Wolf-Rayet star known as WR 136. This massive star sheds its outer envelope in a strong stellar wind, ejecting the equivalent of our Sun's mass every 10,000 years. This ejected material collides with previously expelled gas, forming the nebula.
