The sky on
your birthday.
Sagittarius Star Cloud
The Sagittarius Star Cloud, seen here, shows us that stars come in many colors. Most of the stars in this cloud are orange or red, appearing faint, like our Sun would from that distance. Blue and green stars are hotter and often younger and more massive. The bright red stars are cool Red Giants, which are bloated stars similar to our Sun that have evolved further.
