Thanks to Steve Cariddi from "The Year in Space," we have more copies of the wonderful

Year in Space Wall Calendar!

And the new edition for 2013 is HUGE, and is filled with amazing pictures, cool history and handy space facts for the upcoming year. They make great gifts, too! In fact, Wall Calendar was recently named "Science Geek Gift of the Year" over at

Alan Boyle's Cosmic Log.

There are more than 100 gorgeous photos of space, Moon phases for every day, daily space facts and historical references. And the calendar is ginormous, much larger than a traditional wall calendar.

Every month you'll see: - An in-depth exploration of human space flight, planetary exploration, or deep sky wonders - Multiple images and detailed captions - A mini-biography of famous astronomer, scientist, or astronaut related to the topic - Background info and fun facts - A sky summary of where to find naked-eye planets - Space history dates - Major holidays (U.S. and Canada) - Daily Moon phases graphically displayed

And thanks to Steve, we've got 5 MORE copies of The Year in Space: 2013 Calendar to give away to Universe Today readers – a $12.95 value.
