Who needs a calendar when you can have this gorgeous graphic yearlight calendar displaying the duration of daylight, twilight, and moonlight for each day of the year?

Outstanding work. 
Be sure to check out NASA’s visualization of the Moon’s face for every hour of 2013, in video and GIF form.

Beautiful science illustrations of scale by design duo Brainstorm, a fine addition to these essential visualizations of the scale of the universe.

if you don’t stop and look beyond your own world once in a while, you’ll never get an appreciation for the real scale of things.

Vintage Space Travel Posters
From the genius (I think it’s safe to call him that) that brought us those awesome Star Wars travel posters, Steve Thomas, comes a collection of planetary vacation advertisements. Come to think of it, these may predate the Star Wars ones, but that’s not important right now.
Despite the scientific impossibility of the artwork (skiing on Pluto would be difficult with 8% of Earth’s gravity), they invite dreams of a manned era in solar system exploration that I think we can all support.
If you like Steve’s art, visit his store and purchase posters, iPhone cases or postcards of these works and many more.
