NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Mira Over Germany” is copyrighted by Stefan Seip (AstroMeeting.de). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The variable star Mira, a red giant, can dramatically change its brightness over a year. Seen here above a castle in Stuttgart, Germany, it was near its brightest point. Mira is a pulsating star, expanding and contracting, which causes its luminosity to vary. It is a relatively cool star, much larger than our Sun.
