       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.

      Explanation: This colorful skyscape spans about four full moons across   
      nebula rich starfields along the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy in the   
      royal northern constellation Cepheus. Near the edge of the region's   
      massive molecular cloud some 2,400 light-years away, bright reddish   
      emission region Sharpless (Sh) 155 is at the center of the frame, also   
      known as the Cave Nebula. About 10 light-years across the cosmic cave's   
      bright walls of gas are ionized by ultraviolet light from the hot young   
      stars around it. Dusty reflection nebulae, like vdB 155 to the right,   
      and dense obscuring clouds of dust also abound on the interstellar   
      canvas. Astronomical explorations have revealed other dramatic signs of   
      star formation, including the bright reddish fleck of Herbig-Haro (HH)   
      168. Below and right of center, the Herbig-Haro object emission is   
      generated by energetic jets from a newborn star.
