The sky on
your birthday.
“Aurora and Milky Way in a Little Sky” is copyrighted by Göran Strand. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis image uses a stereographic projection to show the Milky Way stretching across the sky above Lake Storsjön in Sweden. The scene captures the northern hemisphere's autumnal equinox night. The Milky Way arcs from east to west, and the season is also a good time to view auroras, which increase in frequency near the equinox.
