your birthday.

NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“LDN 1235: The Shark Nebula” is copyrighted by Timothy Martin. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Shark Nebula, LDN 1235, is a vast cloud of interstellar gas and dust. Dark dust, like the kind seen here, forms in the cool atmospheres of giant stars. Massive stars carve intricate structures into their birth clouds using their high-energy light and fast stellar winds as sculpting tools, creating these striking cosmic shapes.
