The sky on
your birthday.
“Comet Lulin and Distant Galaxies” is copyrighted by Panther Observatory. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteComet Lulin is now fading in our night sky, but it provided some lovely cosmic vistas. It briefly posed with Saturn and Regulus, and here it is seen against a field of distant galaxies. This picture is a blended composite of telescopic exposures. It was aligned with both the stars and the speedy comet to reveal the faint background galaxies and its fading tail.
