This is a truly far-out gift: The Astronaut Desk Lamp.  It flew to the edge of space on Sept. 1, 2026--floating 100,212 feet above the Sierra Nevada Mountains of central California. The students of Earth to Sky Calculus launched the pose-able astronaut on board a giant helium balloon.
 
The lamp's internal battery worked for two full hours during its journey to the stratosphere, even when temperatures dropped to -58 C.  Inside the payload,  cosmic-ray sensors sampled atmospheric radiation. The flight collected a full three hours of scientific data before the balloon burst (as planned), allowing the payload to parachute safely back to Earth and land in the White Mountains overlooking Bishop, California.
 
In addition to the lamp, you'll also receive a greeting card showing the item in flight. Printed inside the card, a paragraph of text tells the story of the lamp's flight to the stratosphere and back again.
