Even more delightful than this set of six cosmic knives from Chef’s Vision, with their authentic astronomical images printed on the sheaths and bright matching handles is the Twitter threads they inspired after Prof. Julianne Dalcanton originally shared them, and we continued the fun.
Plus, the space knives actually get rave reviews from none other than planetary scientist Dr. Julie Rathbun and astronomer & artist Tyler Nordgren, aka an official Awesome Astronomy Couple (or maybe they’re Binary Stars? I’ll see myself out...).

You would probably not be surprised to learn that many astronomers are startorialists at home as well as at work. Christina Richey, program scientist and cat lover, has perhaps taken her love of space to the extreme*, with one of these cats in space shower curtains in her new apartment! There are several designs, including one with bacon surfboard, one with X-wing fighters and the Death Star (sure) and ... laser overlord nerd cat? I really have no idea. I do recognize several Hubble images, though! What a great way to space out in the shower.

*I am sure I will be continuously impressed by the space-itude of my colleagues.

Maybe I was hoping we would never have to do another one of these, but today’s news from Somalia broke my heart again. I hope against hope that this is the last flag image we make.

Even better (imo) than the sky/space-suggestive Jamberry designs, Brittany (@bfab11) has made some in the @jamberrynailsofficial Nail Art Studio with real astronomical images!

Large Magellanic Cloud (from this Hubble image I think)
Orion Nebula

The Universe at your fingertips, literally!
