The sky on
your birthday.
“A Deep Sky Behind an Eclipsed Moon” is copyrighted by Andrei Ionut Dascalu. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteDuring a total lunar eclipse, the dim, reddened Moon appears next to the colorful Rho Ophiuchi clouds. This region, about 460 light years away, is a star-forming area in the Milky Way's central band. The Earth's shadow makes the Moon visible against the deep sky, allowing a view of both.
