The sky on
your birthday.
“Young Suns of NGC 7129” is copyrighted by Robert Gendler. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteYoung stars still lie within the dusty NGC 7129, about 3,000 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. These stars are only a few million years old. The bluish dust clouds reflect the youthful starlight, and compact, deep red crescent shapes mark energetic young stellar objects.
