“Small Dark Nebula” is copyrighted by Peter Bresseler. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis small, dark nebula is part of the Eagle Nebula, also known as M16. The Eagle Nebula is about 7,000 light-years away, filled with glowing gas and young stars. While Hubble has famously shown the Pillars of Creation here, this image focuses on a smaller, isolated dark cloud.
