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 Sun's light, when passed through a prism, reveals a spectrum of colors. This image from the McMath-Pierce Solar Observatory shows that while the Sun emits nearly every color, it is brightest in yellow-green. Dark lines in the spectrum indicate specific colors absorbed by gas at or above the Sun's surface, a mystery still under investigation.
