your birthday.

NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“The Einstein Cross Gravitational Lens” is copyrighted by J. Rhoads. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Einstein Cross is a striking example of a gravitational lens. The visible foreground galaxy bends light from a much more distant quasar, creating four distinct images of the quasar's nucleus. This phenomenon helps astronomers study both the quasar and the mass distribution of the lensing galaxy.
