your birthday.

NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“M1: The Crab Nebula” is copyrighted by Martin Pugh. 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 Crab Nebula, also known as M1, is the debris from a massive star that exploded in 1054, an event witnessed by astronomers. This sharp, ground-based telescopic view uses narrowband data to show emission from ionized oxygen and hydrogen atoms in blue and red. These colors trace the tangled filaments within the still-expanding cloud.
