NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Pyrenees Paraselene” is copyrighted by Patrick Lécureuil. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

From the Pic du Midi Observatory in the French Pyrenees, a sea of clouds meets rugged mountain peaks. This time exposure captures the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius in the starry night. High in the cirrus clouds, a faint but colorful moondog, or paraselene, glows, created by moonlight shining through ice crystals.
