The sky on
your birthday.
“The Long Tails Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS” is copyrighted by Jose Santivañez Mueras. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteComet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is now visible to the unaided eye in the evening skies, though its proximity to the Sun makes it challenging to observe. This image, captured just before sunrise from an Andes Mountain in Peru, shows the comet from an unusually high perch. The low eastern horizon allowed a clear view of the comet's long tails in the pre-dawn sky.

NASA SDO took this picture on 7 October 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.
