I am unable to fulfill orders placed between Sept 3 - October 10, 2026, Orders placed in that time will be mailed after October 10. 

 

I am disappointed to have to raise my  TRACKED INTERNATIONAL shippings rates from $14 to $20. This also means a change from USPS to UPS (United Parcel Service) for this service. If I stayed with USPS it would increase to $25. Unforetunately, these rate incrases are out of my control. The most affordable rate is to use untracked postage, which remains $4. Please see my FAQ page.

NASA SOFIA End of Service Commemorative Patch

NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA)  airborne observatory concludes 12 years of dedicated service in October 2022. This specially-modified Boeing 747SP flies above most of the Earth's water vapor to enable infrared telescope observatons. It has provided a platform for hundreds of observation experiments as well as a tool for STEM outreach to educators. Unlike ground-based observatories, SOFIA has the ability to fly between the north and south hemispheres to maximize night-time observation times during their respective winters.
