NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“A Dusty Iris Nebula” is copyrighted by Alvin Jeng. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

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.
