Shuttle Plume Shadow Points to Moon
On this day in 2001, the APOD editors published a blank entry. Sometimes the universe is like that. We can't tell you what was supposed to be here, but we can tell you that the next day's picture was about a massive star.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
