Every year, Steve Cariddi releases the wonderful Year in Space Calendar, and the new edition for 2013 is even better, with amazing pictures, cool history and handy space facts for the upcoming year.
Seriously, this calendar is beautiful. There are more than 100 gorgeous photos of space, Moon phases for every day, daily space facts and historical references. And the calendar is huge, much larger than a traditional wall calendar.
Every month you’ll see:
– An in-depth exploration of human space flight, planetary exploration, or deep sky wonders
– Multiple images and detailed captions
– A mini-biography of famous astronomer, scientist, or astronaut related to the topic
– Background info and fun facts
– A sky summary of where to find naked-eye planets
– Space history dates
– Major holidays (U.S. and Canada)
– Daily Moon phases graphically displayed
