your birthday.
“M78: Stardust and Starlight” is copyrighted by Stephan Messner. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteM78 is a reflection nebula in Orion, about 1,500 light-years from Earth and 5 light-years across. Its bluish tint comes from interstellar dust reflecting the blue light of hot, young stars in the region. This sharp widefield view shows M78 just below the center, surrounded by other dark dust lanes and nebulae.
