NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Hydrogen in M33” is copyrighted by Chris Schur. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The spiral galaxy M33 is rich in hydrogen, which glows reddish in this image. These glowing regions, called HII regions, are vast stellar nurseries where massive stars are born. Intense ultraviolet radiation from these young stars ionizes the surrounding hydrogen gas, causing it to emit light.
