The sky on
your birthday.
“Solar Eclipse Solargraph” is copyrighted by Chuck Bueter. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis solargraph, made with a pinhole camera, traces the Sun's path across the sky on August 21, 2017. On that day, a total solar eclipse cast a shadow across the United States. The solargraph shows the Sun's arc, with a noticeable gap where the Moon blocked its light during the eclipse. This image was captured in the Northern Hemisphere, where the Sun was still high in the sky.
