How it works
A real astronomy image for your birthday
Astronomy Picture of the Day presents an astronomy image or video with an explanation of what you are seeing. Your result includes the title, astronomy context, image credit, and a link to the original APOD explanation. The date refers to publication, not necessarily when the image was captured. If your exact date is unavailable, the result explains the alternative publication date.
Cosmic Post is an independent, free web tool for birthday, anniversary and milestone cards using NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day archive. The project was previously called Luminary. It is not operated or endorsed by NASA. Dates match APOD publication dates, with clearly labeled alternatives when the exact entry is unavailable. Add a name, choose a greeting and save a 1080 × 1350 PNG without an account.

Before you search
What does APOD mean?
APOD means Astronomy Picture of the Day, NASA's public archive of daily astronomy images and explanations.
Is every Astronomy Picture of the Day a photograph?
No. Entries can include photographs, illustrations, composites, or videos. If your date has a video, the result identifies it and offers still-image alternatives for a downloadable card.
Can I read the science behind my birthday image?
Yes. The result includes astronomy context and links to the original APOD explanation. You can enjoy the image's story before adding a name, choosing a greeting, and saving your free card.
Is Cosmic Post the same project as Luminary?
Yes. The earlier project was called Luminary and used bapod.vercel.app. Its current name and home are Cosmic Post at cosmicpost.lol. Cosmic Post is independent of NASA. Individual cards now download as 1080 × 1350 PNGs.
