"Niin kaunis on taivas" ("So beautiful is the sky") was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1996, performed in Finnish by Jasmine Tatjana Anette Valentin. The song was performed eighteenth on the night, following Ireland's Eimear Quinn with "The Voice" and preceding Iceland's Anna Mjöll with "Sjúbídú". At the close of voting, it had received 9 points, placing 23rd (last) in a field of 23, a result which disqualified Finland from participation in the 1997 Contest. It was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 1998 contest by Edea with "Aava".
