A Dusty Iris Nebula
The Iris Nebula, also known as NGC 7023, is a cloud of dust and gas 1,300 light-years away in Cepheus. A hot, young star illuminates the dust, making it glow. The surrounding cold gas and dust create fantastic shapes, like other flower-like nebulae in the sky.

In tropical astrology, 10 JUN 2009 falls under Gemini (♊). The sign's window runs from 05-21 through 06-20. Gemini is named for the twin stars Castor and Pollux, both bright enough to spot without a telescope. The Sun was crossing this region of the sky on 10 JUN 2009.
