The
Shark Nebula is part of a vast nebula complex that stretches
25 light-years across and is 670

up the shark's eye. The complex also contains two reflection
nebula, vdB149 and vdB150, located at the top and bottom of the shark's
head. Galaxy PGC67671 is visible at the center of the image, just above the
shark. North is at the top.
