The sky on
your birthday.
“Thor's Helmet (NGC 2359) and Planetary Nebula” is copyrighted by Rogelio Bernal Andreo. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThor's Helmet, NGC 2359, is an interstellar bubble about 30 light-years across, located in Canis Major. It was blown by the fast winds from a bright, massive star. This broad skyscape, about 1.5 degrees wide, also shows a faint, round nebula in the lower left corner.

NASA Terra took this picture on 12 March 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.
