The Regolith of Asteroid Eros
Sometimes, the best view is of what's coming next. This card marks a moment in time, a placeholder for the next cosmic message. We look forward to sharing more wonders with you, from the regolith of asteroid Eros to distant galaxies.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
