NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Colorful Stars and Clouds near Rho Ophiuchi” is copyrighted by Craig Stocks. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The region near Antares and Rho Ophiuchi is a colorful, dusty part of the sky. Fine dust, illuminated by starlight, creates blue reflection nebulae. Gaseous clouds, excited by ultraviolet light from stars, produce reddish emission nebulae. Antares, a red supergiant, lights up the yellow-red clouds in the upper right of the image.
