Good Red Friday morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "The Wizard Nebula." What powers are being wielded in the Wizard Nebula? Gravitation strong enough to form stars, and stellar winds and radiation powerful enough to create and dissolve towers of gas. Located only 8,000 light years away in the constellation Cepheus, the Wizard Nebula surrounds developing open star cluster NGC 7380. The visible wavelength light from the nebula's hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur atoms is transformed using narrowband filters into green, blue, and red colors in the final composite image.

Good morning Maj William W. 'Bill' Price and what a mesmerizing Nebula 8000 Light Years Away... It is so amazing what we can see with today's varying types of telescopes... Can't wait to see the results when the New James Webb telescope is finally in place and turned on... With its massive mirror it should bring tremendous detail to the vastness of our universe... Excellent APOD, Bill!!!
