The sky on
your birthday.
“IC 1795: The Fishhead Nebula” is copyrighted by Roberto Colombari & Mauro Narduzzi. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis nebula, IC 1795, is a star-forming region in Cassiopeia. Some observers see it as a fish head, but it is actually glowing gas and obscuring dust clouds. The colors in the image are a result of mapping narrowband emissions from oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur atoms to blue, green, and red. This data was blended with images from broadband filters.
