NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“The Solar Spectrum” is copyrighted by Nigel Sharp. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The visible light from the Sun, passed through a prism-like device, reveals its spectrum. This spectrum, created at the McMath-Pierce Solar Observatory, shows that the Sun emits nearly every color, but is brightest in yellow-green. Dark lines in the spectrum are caused by gases at or above the Sun's surface absorbing specific colors.
