       Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our   
         fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation   
                       written by a professional astronomer.

        A very colorful sky field is shown featuring many stars and nebulas   
       that appear red, yellow, blue, and brown. Please see the explanation   
                          for more detailed information.

      Explanation: Behold one of the most photogenic regions of the night   
      sky, captured impressively. Featured, the band of our Milky Way Galaxy   
      runs diagonally along the bottom-left corner, while the colorful Rho   
      Ophiuchi cloud complex is visible just right of center and the large   
      red circular Zeta Ophiuchi Nebula appears near the top. In general, red   
      emanates from nebulas glowing in the light of excited hydrogen gas,   
      while blue marks interstellar dust preferentially reflecting the light   
      of bright young stars. Thick dust usually appears dark brown. Many   
      iconic objects of the night sky appear, including (can you find them?)   
      the bright star Antares, the globular star cluster M4, and the Blue   
      Horsehead nebula. This wide field composite, taken over 17 hours, was   
      captured from South Africa last June.
