NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“The Wizard Nebula” is copyrighted by Michael Miller. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Wizard Nebula, also known as NGC 7380, is an open star cluster still embedded in its natal cloud of interstellar gas and dust. It lies about 8,000 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus, seen with foreground and background stars along the plane of our Milky Way galaxy. This cluster and its associated nebula are normally too faint to be seen by eye.
