your birthday.

NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Milky Way over the Pinnacles in Australia” is copyrighted by Michael Goh. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

This is Earth, but not as you might expect. The Pinnacles are unusual rock spires in Western Australia, made of ancient seashells, and their formation remains a mystery. Above them, a bright crescent Moon glows, surrounded by zodiacal light. This light is sunlight reflected by dust grains orbiting between the planets.
