NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Bright from the Heart Nebula” is copyrighted by Simon Addis. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Heart Nebula, IC 1805, glows red due to hydrogen gas. It gets its shape from a cluster of young stars, Melotte 15, at its center. These stars erode the surrounding dust pillars with their energetic light and stellar winds. The nebula is located about 7,500 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia.
