The sky on
your birthday.
“Aurora over Sweden” 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 striking aurora display was captured in 2016 just outside of Östersund, Sweden. The bright green arc stretched across the sky. This panorama, a merge of six photographic fields, spans almost 180 degrees. Lake Storsjön is in the foreground, and constellations, including Polaris, are visible through the aurora in the background.
