Now, this isn’t that exciting, but it’s pretty impressive in its own right. A new site I found lets you see exactly what NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured on your birthday. The Hubble launched more than 30 years ago, and it’s seen a thing or two in its time exploring the universe 24/7. That includes black holes colliding, celestial fireworks and the jaw-dropping “Pillars of Creation” (Google it, trust me). Just enter your birth month and date, and voila — you get a fancy photo with some info about what, exactly, Hubble saw. Click more info to get even more detail and even download a high-res version to set as your computer background. On my birthday, July 1, Hubble took a photo of the broken-up comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in 1993. The bright red and yellow fragments are pretty striking. Our Content Marketing Director Allie’s birthday photo beats mine, though. (It’s the image up above, and wow, it reminds me why I love space photos so much.) Is yours even better? Come tell me about it on Twitter or Facebook. Try this site. It’s great stuff!
