The sky on
your birthday.
“The Horsehead and Flame Nebulas” is copyrighted by Daniel Stern. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Horsehead Nebula is one of the most famous nebulae in the sky. It appears as a dark indentation in the orange emission nebula on the far right of this image. The horse-head shape is an opaque dust cloud in front of the bright emission nebula. Like clouds in Earth's atmosphere, this cosmic cloud has assumed a recognizable shape by chance.

NASA released this picture on 2 September 2025. That is the day it was published, not the day it was taken.
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.
