Space and science posters and prints

🌌 The gem of this collection is, of course, the "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey - Cosmic Calendar" science poster. It's was inspired by "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" and Carl Sagan & Neil deGrasse Tyson.

The concept was popularized by Carl Sagan in book "The Dragons of Eden" (1977) and on his TV-series "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage" (1980), and continue by Neil deGrasse Tyson on his TV-series "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" (2014). In this visualization (See details here), the Big Bang took place at the beginning of January 1 at midnight, and the current moment maps onto the end of December 31 just before midnight. At this scale, there are 437.5 years per second, 1.575 million years per hour, and 37.8 million years per day.

Many teachers have ordered this poster for their classrooms and thanked them for it.

🌌 The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HR diagram, details here) is one of the most important tools in the study of stellar evolution. Developed independently in the early 1900s by Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Norris Russell, it plots the temperature of stars against their luminosity (the theoretical HR diagram), or the colour of stars (or spectral type) against their absolute magnitude (the observational HR diagram, also known as a colour-magnitude diagram).

The vast majority of the human body, including the majority of our oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, calcium, and iron, all owe their primary origin to massive stars that have gone supernova. You can see this in our other science poster, Origins: Solar system elements.
