“The Missing Craters of Asteroid Itokawa” is copyrighted by ISAS, JAXA. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAsteroid Itokawa, photographed by the Hayabusa probe, has a surface unlike any other Solar System body: it seems to lack craters. One idea is that Itokawa is a rubble pile, a loose collection of rocks and ice held by weak gravity. If so, impacts might not form lasting craters, but instead rearrange the surface material.

NASA Terra took this picture on 21 November 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.
