your birthday.
A Comet In The Sky Credit:
Comet Hale-Bopp was predicted to be the most viewed comet in human history. For those in the northern hemisphere, it was a bright and inspiring sight. This image shows it crowning the sky above Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, on March 20th. Orbital calculations suggest its last passage through the inner Solar System was about 4,200 years ago.
