Facing NGC 6946
We see NGC 6946 face-on from our vantage point in the Milky Way. This spiral galaxy is about 10 million light-years away in Cepheus. Its colors change from the yellowish light of old stars at the center to young blue star clusters and reddish star-forming regions along its spiral arms.
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.
