Some people think about space and are inspired to create needle felted tributes. That or they are participating in an Etsy craft competition. Whatever the reason, @flyingjenny made this crafty representation of the NASA Hubble Servicing Mission 4. I’m confident that she has boldly taken needle felting where it’s never gone before.

As you can see on his personal website, Australian artist Peter Hennessey has a thing for NASA. Specifically, he likes to re-create NASA hardware to scale using laser-cut plywood and steel. His latest creation, “My Hubble”, is a full-scale model of the telescope, and it was designed without the aid of 3D modeling software. All it took was 7 images, Adobe Illustrator and about 3 months to cut and assemble the pieces.
Was “The Force” simply a figment of George Lucas’ imagination, or is it a real power that is all around us? My guess is that the real Force exists with Star Wars-themed merchandise, and it is constantly beckoning us to open up our wallets. The following 10 Star Wars products have definitely harnessed that power.
That knock on the front door could be the girl of your dreams or a potential robber. This rifle sticker incorporates the peep hole as the scope so that you have a bead on whoever is there as soon as they are in the field of view. Also available as a camera and a telescope that can be seen after the break.
This Jedi telescope allows you to insert 10 built-in Star Wars planets and ships into the heavens. It also features astronomy lessons from Yoda where he will teach you that “the planets and ships throughout the Star Wars universe are similar to our own.” Yes indeed, there is nothing more magical than having a cup of coffee in the morning and watching the Death Star come up over the horizon.

If I have a choice about how to do my star gazing, it would obviously be with a rocket. While this one will not allow you to do it from space, its 375x magnification will make you feel like you are there. And when you aren’t checking out distant planets you can slap its nose cone back on and set it upright like it is ready for launch. All you need is a countdown and a smoke machine to have the ultimate telescope.
