“Ou4: The Giant Squid Nebula” is copyrighted by Massimo Di Fusco. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Giant Squid Nebula, Ou4, is a mysterious, squid-shaped interstellar cloud spanning nearly three full moons in Earth's sky. Discovered in 2011, its bipolar shape is distinguished by the blue emission from doubly ionized oxygen atoms. It appears to be surrounded by the reddish hydrogen emission region Sh2-129, but its true distance and nature are still under investigation.
