NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“The Horsehead Nebula” 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 Horsehead Nebula, also known as Barnard 33, is one of the most recognizable nebulae, part of a large, dark molecular cloud in Orion. Its unusual shape was first seen on a photographic plate in the late 1800s. The nebula's darkness comes from thick dust, while the red glow behind it is hydrogen gas ionized by the bright star Sigma Orionis.
