There has never been a more spectacular merger of art and science. Modern space telescopes represent some of the greatest scientific and engineering achievements in the history of mankind. The images that astronomers have captured with these telescopes are some of the world's most awe-inspiring artistic creations. These photographs span unimaginable distances and shed light on some of the great mysteries of the universe.
This 12-month calendar contains one large image each month, along with 16 bonus images within the grids. It provides the dates of major astronomical events, including moon phases, solar and lunar eclipses, meteor showers, and moon-planet conjunctions.
All images have been carefully prepared for printing by professional night photographer Grant Collier. The calendar is printed on thick paper with a varnish to prevent writing from showing through to the next month. A portion of all proceeds are donated to charities working to protect planet Earth.
