This page is intended
to provide reminders to help you and others maintain a conscious
connection to the universe. We're currently offering greeting
cards with science-related themes to help you stay aware of
the properties of the universe you're immersed in. We will
add more materials as our resources allow. Suggestions and
materials to include are welcome.

Starlight:
"When you glance at an average star in the night sky, the
light that you see has been traveling for a hundred years,
hurtling through space at 186,000 miles per second, until
one magical night, it ends its journey,...by lighting up
your eyes. May your holiday season be filled with wonder."
Peace
on Earth: "There are about 400 billion stars in our
galaxy and over a billion galaxies in the visible universe.
We have found life on one planet, orbiting one star. May
there be peace on earth this holiday season."

Happy Birthday."

Reach
for the stars: "As you set your sights on your next
goal, remember that the nearest star is 93 million miles
away. But you are made of atoms created in the stars. So
go ahead and reach for your star...You've got it in you."
Never
stop exploring: "'The known is finite, the unknown infinite;
intellectually we stand on an islet in the midst of an illimitable
ocean of inexplicability. Our business in every generation
is to reclaim a little more land.' - T.H. Huxley...May you
never stop exploring the cosmos."
