The sky on
your birthday.
“The Gegenschein Over Chile” is copyrighted by Yuri Beletsky. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe gegenschein, German for "counter glow," is a faint patch of light visible in the night sky directly opposite the Sun. It is caused by sunlight scattering off tiny interplanetary dust particles. These millimeter-sized particles are splinters from asteroids and orbit in the plane of the planets. This image from Chile captures one of the more striking views of this phenomenon.
