Absolutely stellar (get it? ha ha... ha.... I'll leave now) from my Space Santa! I told my Santa that I'm a 'celestial bodies and theories' person more than a 'rocket ship' person, and they nailed it.

One pair of awesome space pattern socks. They're excellent quality; great definition to the pattern, nice and thick and will hold up well.

Scientific American's Space calendar. I told my Santa I loved space images, and this is right up my alley. It's a great range of Hubble images that are good enough quality to frame once 2019 is done.

A collection of scientific papers about dark matter, my favorite space discovery. There's some cool theoretical papers in here, including how dark matter could have practical applications if we could harness it.

A beautiful planets bracelet. At first I thought the planet beads were all marbles, but on closer inspection there's a sodalite, carnelian, tiger's eye, maybe a lapis, and what looks like flecks of pyrite encased in glass in there, too. I have a Neptune necklace it'll look fantastic with.

Thank you so much, Santa!
