BIRTHDAY · 15 JUN 2010

The sky on
your birthday.

NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Starry Night Scavenger Hunt” is copyrighted by Original Painting: Vincent van Gogh; Digital Collage: Ronnie Warner. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

This is a modern take on Van Gogh's "Starry Night," but with a cosmic scavenger hunt hidden within. It's not the original, but a clever rendition that includes a comet, a spiral galaxy, and an open star cluster. Look closely and you can find these celestial objects integrated into the famous swirling sky.
