The sky on
your birthday.
“Shadow Rise on the Inside Passage” is copyrighted by Steve Cullen. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAt sunset, look east to see Earth's dark shadow rise from the horizon, revealing faint colors opposite the setting Sun. This scene from the Alaskan Inside Passage shows the pinkish anti-twilight arch, also known as the Belt of Venus. It is often overlooked at sunset, as observers focus on the brighter western horizon.
The Sun on 5 July 2018
NASA SDO took this picture on 5 July 2018, the day itself, not a release date.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
Prints are coming soon. The card is free to save and share in the meantime.
