The sky on
your birthday.
“Chicagohenge: Equinox in an Aligned City” is copyrighted by Anthony Artese. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteOn the equinox, the Sun sets exactly to the west, everywhere on Earth. In Chicago, the city grid is aligned with the cardinal directions. This creates "Chicagohenge," where the setting Sun aligns perfectly with the streets and buildings. This image captures the phenomenon along Upper Wacker Drive during a September equinox.

NASA SDO took this picture on 22 September 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.
