Today is the last official day of NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope mission <sniff>. Launched over 16 years ago, Spitzer brought the infrared universe to the forefront as one of NASA’s Great Observatories. It studied everything from our own solar system to the Milky Way to some of the most distant galaxies. It mapped the first "weather map” of an exoplanet, refined the density estimates for the seven planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system, and found the largest molecules known to exist in space, aka Buckyballs. I could go on and on and on! 

In celebration of this amazing mission, Science Socks made these awesome socks so you can trap your own infrared radiation and keep your feet warm in memory of Spitzer! BONUS, $2 from every sale is donated to STEM for Her - a non-profit in the D.C. area that promotes education to create awareness, excitement, and opportunities among girls and young women to pursue successful STEM-related careers. 

If you’re not ready to say goodbye just yet, you can relive some of this phenomenal mission with this tribute video and learn more about 15 of Spitzer’s greatest discoveries here. 

One of our favorite science apparel shops, @svahausa, now carries geeky socks, perfect for #Sockturday (and winter holiday gift-giving, if you’re anything like my family, which is to say very weird)!

We stocked the Astronomy socks at the #BOOTHtique at #DPS18, and they are nice and thick and soft. They are all available in two sizes as well!

The other designs are: Math socks, Science socks, and Engineering socks.

Check out all our @svahausa posts here and/or here, and all our socks posts!
