your birthday.

NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Launch Plume: SpaceX Jellyfish” is copyrighted by Michael Seeley. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

This image captures a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The exhaust plume, mostly water vapor, is illuminated by the rising sun, creating a 'jellyfish' effect. This happens when the rocket is high enough to catch sunlight while the ground below is still in darkness. Such launches at dawn or dusk often produce these dramatic visual displays.
