ThinkGeek has created a beautiful glassware set based on planets (Alderaan, Dagobah, Hoth, and Tatooine), a moon (Endor) and a space station (The Death Star) from the Star Wars universe.
When you’re little, you are bombarded with mobiles and models made with styrofoam balls and shoebox dioramas and all sorts of interactive, creative ways to visualize our solar system. It’s a good way to learn where we are in the universe, and it gives kids some perspective. Pale blue dot.
So why not use similar methods to learn to visualize other solar systems, too? This Star Wars Planetary Glassware Set lets you gaze upon otherworldly beauty while drinking your orange juice. Or blue milk. Plus it lets you start a conversation about the differences between planets (Alderaan, Dagobah, Hoth, and Tatooine) and moons (the forest moon of Endor) or even space stations (the Death Star). First thing we’re doing when we get ours is filing Hoth with vanilla ice cream. Or better yet – snow cream!
