The sky on
your birthday.
“A Two Percent Moon” is copyrighted by Marina Prol. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteA young crescent moon can be difficult to spot because it stays close to the Sun in the sky. This telephoto snapshot, taken at sunset, shows a slender sunlit lunar crescent clearly visible near the western horizon. The moon was about 1.5 days old, with only two percent of its surface illuminated.

NASA SDO took this picture on 30 August 2025, the day itself, not a release date.
