NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Stars and Globules in the Running Chicken Nebula” is copyrighted by Stefan Steve Bemmerl. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Running Chicken Nebula, cataloged as IC 2944, is an emission nebula where new stars may be forming. Toward the bottom of the image, small, dark molecular clouds, known as Thackeray's Globules, are visible. These "eggs" are dense pockets of cosmic dust and gas, potential sites for gravitational collapse into new stars.
