NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Haunting the Cepheus Flare” is copyrighted by Leo Shatz. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

These dusty cosmic clouds drift through the constellation Cepheus, about 1,200 light-years away. They are part of the Cepheus Flare molecular cloud complex, visible in dimly reflected starlight. One prominent feature, vdB 141 or Sh2-136, is also known as the Ghost Nebula. These regions are often sites of ongoing star formation.
