The sky on
your birthday.
“A Happy Sky over Bufa Hill in Mexico” is copyrighted by Daniel Korona. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteSometimes, the sky itself seems to smile. A few days ago, an unusual alignment of our Moon with Venus and Saturn created just such an iconic facial expression. A crescent Moon appeared to form a happy face when paired with the seemingly nearby planets. This image captures the scene over Zacatecas, Mexico, with the distinctive Bufa Hill in the foreground.
