The Hubble Space Telescope, operated by NASA and the European Space Agency, has been flying high for almost three full decades. That’s a long time to be peering into space and the telescope has provided mankind with some incredible discoveries and a wealth of celestial eye candy. Over the course of almost 30 years, it’s amassed quite a collection of images and there’s at least one spectacular shot for every day of the calendar year.
NASA knows this and to help celebrate the spacecraft’s upcoming 30th anniversary, the agency put together a handy little web tool that shows you what cosmic wonder Hubble was gazing at on your birthday in years past.
“Hubble explores the universe 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” NASA writes. “That means it has observed some fascinating cosmic wonder every day of the year, including on your birthday.” Simple enough, so let’s try it out!
The tool is incredibly easy to use. You just enter your birth month and day into the appropriate fields, click “Submit” and you’ll be treated to one of 366 awesome images shot by Hubble. Yep, Hubble was working hard during leap years too and on February 29th, 2004 it was basking in the glow of a massive starfield at the heart of our own Milky Way galaxy.

Did it work for You ?
On my birthday, Hubble was still grains of sand on a beach somewhere.
“did it work for you”
It worked for me.
Incredibly they don’t tell the angular size of the various shots.
YIAAARRRKAAAAAGE !!!
That’s really cool and odd at the same time.
You should paint that on the front door of Your House and then have some Burma Shave Type signs leading to the Physic Readers Shop.
On July 21 in 2004 Antennae Galaxies The two merging spiral galaxies that comprise the Antennae galaxies began their interaction only a few hundred million years ago. Over the course of the merger, billions of stars will be formed.

Now that I think about it You must be EYEPolar.
On the other side of the Pic is there another eye looking the other way ?
And if so does that mean instead of side by side, You have an eye in the back of Your Constellation ?
