We put telescopes in space to escape Earth's atmosphere. Our air blocks many wavelengths of light, like X-rays and infrared, which carry vital information about the cosmos. Above the atmosphere, instruments like Hubble can observe across a much wider electromagnetic spectrum, giving us clearer and more complete views of distant objects.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
