NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Sunrise Over Kilimanjaro” is copyrighted by Clayton Hogen-Chin (U. Minnesota). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

At 6 AM, hikers on Mt. Kilimanjaro witnessed a sunrise that made the sky glow red. This spectacular color is caused by sunlight scattering off the atmosphere and small cloud particles. If all the scattered light that makes the sky blue were added back, the sunrise would appear white, like the Sun.
