NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“The Trifid Nebula in Stars and Dust” is copyrighted by Adam Block. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Trifid Nebula, M20, is a photogenic nebula in Sagittarius where stars are actively forming. The red-glowing gas is hydrogen struck by high-energy starlight. Dark dust filaments, formed in the atmospheres of cool giant stars and from supernova debris, lace through the nebula, giving it its distinct three-lobed appearance.
