The sky on
your birthday.
“Two Tails of Comet Lulin” is copyrighted by Richard Richins (NMSU). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteComet Lulin passed closest to Earth yesterday, so it will remain near its brightest over the next few days. It's almost 180 degrees from the Sun, making it visible nearly all night long. The comet will appear to move about ten full moons across the sky each night. In this image, it shows two distinct tails: a gas ion tail and a dust tail.

NASA Terra took this picture on 25 February 2009, the day itself, not a release date.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
Prints are coming soon. The card is free to save and share in the meantime.
