Relax on Kepler 16b vacation advert space tourism Wrapping Paper

Get your out-of-this-world gift wrap here! Perfect for Christmas gifts for anyone who is fascinated by what the universe holds in store for us!


tagged with: retro style adverts, art nouveau, kepler 16b, nasa exoplanet exploration program, two suns, vacation destinations, holiday destinations, k16bha, outer space vacations, nasa jpl picutres, retro holiday adverts

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A wonderful, retro-style advert in an art-nouveau tradition. Kepler-16b orbits a pair of stars. Depicted here as a terrestrial planet, Kepler-16b might also be a gas giant like Saturn. Prospects for life on this unusual world aren't good, as it has a temperature similar to that of dry ice. But the discovery indicates that double-sunsets are anything but science fiction.

Tadpole Nebula, Auriga Constellation Star Sticker

Here's a great sheet of stickers featuring a beautiful image from deep space


tagged with: envelope sealers, star forming activity, awesome astronomy images, tnitac, tadpole nebula, auriga constellation, new born stars, hot young stars, star nursery, dust clouds, interstellar gas clouds

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series An awesome outer space picture featuring the Tadpole Nebula, a star forming hub located about 12000 light years away in the Auriga constellation.
This nebula is brimming with new-born stars, many as young as only a million years of age. It's called the Tadpole nebula because the masses of hot, young stars are blasting out ultraviolet radiation that has etched the gas into two tadpole-shaped pillars, called Sim 129 and130, the yellow forms that seem to be swimming away from the three red stars close to the centre of the picture.

tagged with: 67pcg, rosetta mission, comet 67p, comet closeup, space exploration, esa missions, outer space science, rosetta comet, comet ejecting material, navigation camera pictures

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series: Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko has 19 very distinct regions. They've been named to continue the ancient Egyptian theme of the Rosetta mission. Grouped according to the type of terrain, five basic categories have been determined: dust-covered (Ma'at, Ash and Babi); brittle materials with pits and circular structures (Seth); large-scale depressions (Hatmehit, Nut and Aten); smooth terrains (Hapi, Imhotep and Anubis), and exposed, more consolidated ('rock-like') surfaces (Maftet, Bastet, Serqet, Hathor, Anuket, Khepry, Aker, Atum and Apis). How the ancient Egyptians would have bristled with pride!
