NASA Image of the Day

Stars Adorn Orion's Sword
This image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows what lies near the sword of the constellation Orion -- an active stellar nursery containing thousands of young stars and developing protostars. Many will turn out like our sun. Some are even more massive. These massive stars light up the Orion nebula, which is seen here as the bright region near the center of the image.

Hubble Science Cards & Cosmology Information Sheet

Since 2003, Phlare's Hubble Science Cards have been bringing the incredible imagery and science of the Hubble Telescope to people around the world. Our third version of the Hubble cards was released in 2007 and for the first time was teamed with a Cosmology Information Sheet.

Forty gorgeous 3" x 5" question-and-answer cards combine the extraordinary imagery from Hubble with its equally exciting science. The cards cover star formation, galaxy formation, gravity, supernovae, ages of stars, light years, dark energy, black holes, hydrogen fusion, dark matter, the Kuiper Belt, quasars, radio jets, neutrinos, the Crab Nebula, planetary nebula, extrasolar planets, the Big Bang, star emissions, red giants and more.

The 18" x 24" Cosmology Information Sheet details how the universe was made, of what it is made and its fate. Under these categories is information on black holes, special and general relativity, dark matter, dark energy, galaxy formation and much more. The back of the sheet describes NASA's great space-based observatories (Hubble, Spitzer, James Webb & Chandra) and lists all of the observatories in the US and Canada, as well as some notable international observatories. There is also a section on Hubble's greatest scientific achievements.. This extraordinary and highly educational set will be a treasure for years to come. (40 3" x 5" cards per deck) Made in USA
