NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Tetons and Snake River, Planet Earth” is copyrighted by Babak Tafreshi. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

This night sky above Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming shows the Milky Way glowing with airglow, a faint emission of light by Earth's atmosphere. This natural phenomenon, captured by a sensitive digital camera, is caused by atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere. The Snake River winds through the foreground, reflecting the faint light from the sky.
