The sky on
your birthday.
“Comet, Planet, Moon” is copyrighted by Juan Carlos Casado. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThree bright objects were visible in the western sky after sunset earlier this month. The Moon, in a crescent phase, appears on the upper left. The rest of its disk is faintly lit by earthshine. The bright planet Jupiter, the largest in our solar system, is also visible. Below the Moon, Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks displays a stubby dust tail and an impressive ion tail.
The Sun on 29 April 2024
NASA SDO took this picture on 29 April 2024, 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.
