your birthday.
“Venus, Moon, and the Smoking Mountain” is copyrighted by Luis Miguel Meade Rodríguez. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteFrom a plane window, Venus shines as the morning star, sharing the predawn sky with a crescent moon. Below, the peak of a Mexican volcano, Popocatépetl, known as El Popo, is silhouetted against the coming sunrise. The long cloud bank is the volcano's plume. This view shows our home planet's dynamic atmosphere and the celestial ballet above.
