“Barnard's Loop Around Orion” is copyrighted by W. H. Wang. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteBarnard's Loop is a vast arc of glowing gas that stretches across the constellation Orion. This faint emission nebula, discovered on photographic plates, encircles many of Orion's bright stars. Its exact origin is still debated, but it may be a remnant of ancient supernovae or stellar winds from massive stars.

NASA Terra took this picture on 20 April 2005, the day itself, not a release date.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
Prints are coming soon. The card is free to save and share in the meantime.
