How this NASA picture tool works
Choose a date up to today.
The tool requests NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day and, if no image is available on that date, shows the nearest earlier image within 30 days and labels its actual date.
Images are displayed directly; when NASA media is unavailable, a link to the official APOD page is provided.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I find the NASA photo from my birthday?

Why does a date sometimes show a video?
NASA APOD can be an image, video, or other media. This tool looks back up to 30 days for an image and displays the actual image date when it differs from your selection.
