The sky on
your birthday.
“Vintage Gamma-Rays” was a movie, or a file NASA no longer keeps, so there's no still picture of it to put on this card.
See it on NASA's siteGamma-rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation, but they cannot be focused by lenses or mirrors. To create an image, scientists use a coded aperture, a patterned mask that casts gamma-ray shadows. These shadow patterns on a digital detector array are then used to construct the final image.
