“Snake in the Dark” is copyrighted by Stéphane Guisard. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteDark nebulae snake across a field of stars in the constellation Ophiuchus, toward the center of our Milky Way. The twisting shape in the middle is known as the Snake Nebula, or Barnard 72. These dark clouds of dust obscure the light from stars behind them.

NASA Terra took this picture on 20 February 2009, 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.
