“Sh2-132: The Lion Nebula” is copyrighted by Imran Badr; Text: Natalia Lewandowska (SUNY Oswego). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Lion Nebula, officially Sh2-132, is a powerful nebula in the constellation Cepheus, powered by two massive stars. These stars, each over 20 times the mass of our Sun, have formed shells of ionized gas that glow and are dense enough to form new stars. This energetic region has an angular size slightly larger than the full moon.

NASA SDO took this picture on 10 June 2024, the day itself, not a release date.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
Prints are coming soon. The card is free to save and share in the meantime.

In tropical astrology, 10 JUN 2024 falls under Gemini (♊). The sign's window runs from 05-21 through 06-20. Gemini is named for the twin stars Castor and Pollux, both bright enough to spot without a telescope. The Sun was crossing this region of the sky on 10 JUN 2024.
