The sky on
your birthday.
“Comet Between Fireworks and Lightning” is copyrighted by Antti Kemppainen. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteSometimes the sky provides the best show. On January 26, people in Perth, Australia, gathered to watch the sky light up. Nearby, fireworks exploded for Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a distant thunderstorm flashed. Near the image's center, through the clouds, was Comet McNaught, so bright it remained visible despite the other lights.
