your birthday.

NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“The Elusive Jellyfish Nebula” is copyrighted by Bob Franke. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

See it on NASA's site
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Jellyfish Nebula, IC 443, is a supernova remnant, the expanding debris cloud from a massive star's explosion. Its arcing ridge of emission and dangling tentacles give it its name. Flanked by the stars Mu and Eta Geminorum, this elusive nebula is a vivid reminder of the violent end of a star's life.
