EXCITING NEWS: we sponsored the American Astronomical Society team uniforms at AAS235*! The designs feature the phases of the moon and the Hubble Space Telescope...both with POCKETS. 

We are so thrilled to see them in the wild!

Even more delightful than this set of six cosmic knives from Chef’s Vision, with their authentic astronomical images printed on the sheaths and bright matching handles is the Twitter threads they inspired after Prof. Julianne Dalcanton originally shared them, and we continued the fun.

Plus, the space knives actually get rave reviews from none other than planetary scientist Dr. Julie Rathbun and astronomer & artist Tyler Nordgren, aka an official Awesome Astronomy Couple (or maybe they’re Binary Stars? I’ll see myself out...).

Astronomer Dr. Fe Krauss made these hand-painted shoes a couple years ago, but she recently added LEDs to them so THEY LIGHT UP!!!! The (amazing, btdubs) images are the Centaurus A galaxy by Hubble, Spitzer, & Chandra and one of my favorites, the N 90 star-forming region & NGC 602 cluster by Hubble.

Check out this video of the shoes in action and the full details on her blog post!

Maybe I was hoping we would never have to do another one of these, but today’s news from Somalia broke my heart again. I hope against hope that this is the last flag image we make.

In honor of Towel Day, here are some interstellar towel designs from Shoenstaub (we’ve posted their rugs before) with help from the Hubble Space Telescope.

Black & blue nebula (LH 95)

Black & white nebula

(really bothering me that I can’t identify it -

Tarantula Nebula

maybe?)

Even better (imo) than the sky/space-suggestive Jamberry designs, Brittany (@bfab11) has made some in the @jamberrynailsofficial Nail Art Studio with real astronomical images!

Veil Nebula

Large Magellanic Cloud (from this Hubble image I think)

Orion Nebula

Cassini

The Universe at your fingertips, literally!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! The Cosmic Converse are back! Previously only available at Journey’s, they are now sold by Famous Footwear! The color is called “Midnight Lake/Pink” but we all know it’s NGC 602 as imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Stock up while you can, startorialists!
