The sky on
your birthday.
Across the Universe
Even the faint stars visible to the naked eye are hundreds or thousands of light-years distant, all within our Milky Way. You can spot the Andromeda Galaxy as a pale, fuzzy cloud, about 2.5 million light-years away. Staring towards the northern constellation Bootes on March 19th, you could have witnessed a faint, brief flash of light from a gamma-ray burst, even without binoculars or a telescope.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
