The sky on
your birthday.

NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Anticrepuscular Rays Over Colorado” is copyrighted by John Britton. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

These are anticrepuscular rays, an optical phenomenon seen when the sun sets behind clouds. They are the same parallel light rays as crepuscular rays, but viewed from the opposite side of the sky. Because of perspective, these parallel rays appear to converge at a point opposite the sun. The effect creates a dramatic visual across the horizon.
