Breathtaking Images of Galaxies, Nebulae and Star Clusters Selected to Appear in 2007 Space Calendar
Posted on: Saturday, 4 November 2006, 00:00 CST
The lopsided Cartwheel Galaxy, over 400 million light-years from Earth, bears the scars of a catastrophic collision with neighboring galaxies. Peering into the heart of the Orion Nebula, two powerful telescopes join forces to create the most detailed view ever of this star-forming region. The colorful stars of a jewel-like open cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud are slowly drifting apart into the blackness of space. These breathtaking deep space views are just a few of the 53 breathtaking outer space images that appear in the limited-edition "Year In Space" 2007 Desk Calendar, an award-winning 144-page weekly calendar featuring images and information from the past, present and future of space exploration and astronomical discovery. http://www.YearInSpace.com.
Published in cooperation with The Planetary Society, "The Year In Space" takes its readers on an out-of-this-world journey while giving them a convenient way to organize their busy lives back on Earth.
The 53 weekly images represent the full spectrum of space exploration, from the Apollo Moon landings to the International Space Station. Amazing planetary images by the Cassini Orbiter and the Mars Exploration Rovers are presented along with incredible deep space views taken by the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes. An informative essay accompanies every image, and each weekly calendar page is filled with historic dates in space history.
