SOMETHING YOU WANT

Planisphere Watch

Once upon a time, we told time by the stars; now you can track the changes in the night sky on your watch. The glowing watch face makes the effect extra-cool for nighttime stargazing.

Gravity Wells Poster

Women of NASA Lego Set

Give your lego space cre- ations a healthy boost of girl power with legos, including astronauts like Mae Jemison and engineers like Nancy Roaman (part of the set with the Hubble Space telescope).


SOMETHING YOU NEED

Never miss a meteor shower or moon phase.



SOMETHING TO WEAR

Gravity Sucks T-Shirt
