Comet 21P Between Rosette and Cone Nebulas

NASA APOD · Fritz Helmut Hemmerich
COSMIC MESSAGE

Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, pictured here, is the source of the Draconids meteor shower. Debris from its eroding nucleus streaks across Earth's atmosphere, creating the annual shower. The comet is seen between the Rosette and Cone Nebulae, its greenish-gray glow a result of its composition.
