The sky on
your birthday.

NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“The Milky Way Over Devils Tower” is copyrighted by Wally Pacholka. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

Devils Tower in Wyoming, USA, is a hardened lava plume that likely never reached the surface to become a volcano. The lighter rock that once surrounded this dense volcanic neck has eroded away, leaving the dramatic tower. High above, the central band of the Milky Way galaxy arches across the sky.
