Look these astro and science images over and see what you think. Clicking
on any image will take you to my science product web page where you can see
what the images look like on over 20 different shirt designs and many different
colors, as well as hats, mugs, posters, mouse pads, and other products.
Note that this is a just a sampling of the growing designs available. By
clicking on a design you'll be able to peruse the entire collection of
similar designs.
All designs were created with the Gimp,
an incredible utility for image creation and manipulation. Gimp is available
for both Linux and Windows. I used the version for Linux.

Are you an amateur astronomer? Then you are an official Photon-Ologist.

This fanciful image has a circular arrangement of Pi symbols
surrounding a ritual fire. Fitting for a true Pi Worshiper.
|
Astronomers will recognize what this telescope is focused on. It's
the Lunar Bay of Rainbows.

As a physics student, I remember we always teased the poor chemistry
students about their accidents with corrosive chemicals. In this image, the
lower portion is rusted and distorted to make the point.
|
I've heard it said the physicists are nothing but sloppy mathematicians, and chemists are nothing but sloppy physicists. Tongue-in-cheek of course,
but illustrative of a perceived hierarchy of science.

This Sci Fi image shows a disgruntled alien that doesn't take a
shine to being stared at..

If you've been in astronomy long enough, you've suffered this
debilitating ailment: the compelling desire to get a bigger telescope.
|
This image sums up the essential concept of our beginning with a single
image. The image was easy enough, it was the text that I couldn't get right. I
think it rings true now though. What do you think?

This concoction of a telescope stretching forth
to reach the stars, with the moon as a backdrop, shows that amateur
astronomers are true star tourists.

My son made a model DOB way back in grade school, and I still have that
old model. I used it here to give the illusion of a light bucket small enough
to fit in the palm of my hand.
|
This image lets the binocular lover make a statement about why one
should consider using binoculars for astronomy. 45 years into the hobby I
still use my old pair. How about you?
|
It's generally accepted that Galileo was the first scientist to point a
telescope into the heavens and try to interpret what he saw. It's a fascinating
story, commemorated by this image.

The saying has a double meaning. Certainly James Clerk Maxwell knew his
field, he also really knew his field theory.
|
This shirt design shows Newton's gravity equation, illustrated with
a diagram of a gravity well. The image was created with the freely
available language Yorick.
|
If you've ever studied physics, surely some aspect of quantum physics
was cause for confusion. In fact, I'm not sure anyone has ever actually
grasped quantum physics.

How would you ship a Schrodinger Cat experiment? The enclosed cat would
neither be dead or alive, but a superposition of both states. Both alive --
and dead.
|
A play on the cheat sheet idea, this is the Physics Cheat Shirt.
Just for fun of course, not to encourage actual cheating.
