The images are splendid. Sorting through them one by one, I feel like I'm looking at the visual equivalent of an Arthur C. Clarke novel.

I sent and used every single post card sending them to friends. The glossy makes the pictures look nice but can make using anything other then ballpoint pen a bit rough or even sharpie. I really enjoyed the selection of planets and other space object. Some of the post cards I sent got ripped by the post office so be aware of that, it was always at the corners.

There are a total of 100 cards, each with a unique image and a description of the image on the back.The thickness of the card is good for mailing. The reflective stars on the side of the box give it a nice touch.I'd buy this again in the future.

Prachtige stevige kaarten met adembenemende afbeeldingen vanuit de ruimte, ik kan hier echt wat mee, sommige zijn te mooi om er iets mee te doen, die zou ik zo in willen lijsten.

I wanted some great, beautifully printed space cards for my Postcrossing.com hobby. I actually per-ordered these. Came when they said they would.This is not a flip book that you tear the cards out of, they are individual cards with hard edges. They're made out of very sturdy card stock and feel nice to the touch. Standard postcard size, these are not the oversized ones you sometimes see. On the back of the card there are concise descriptions of each individual card, and otherwise its blank space without lines for whatever you want.There are 100 of them in the box as it says, 2 of each image. And they are just stunning, beautiful images. Closeups of planets, stars, nebulae. The images are not glossy like a photo would be at say CVS or something, and I have not noticed any blurry postcards. They come inside this nice fat little box to keep them from bending and getting ruined. They look like they'll stand the test of time and are worth every penny. 5 stars for real, I just love them and can't wait to send them out.

Postcrossers and space junkies will love this set. With 100 cards to chose from (and there's maybe only dozen here that are duds) you're spoiled with options. The images are crisp and the color is quite good. Of course, some are awfully dark--this is outer space and all--but unlike a few other space-themed cards I've purchased, you don't have to squint to wonder what you're looking at. Nebulas, planets, stars...everything is here and it's all luscious. Thanks, NASA!I withheld a star for some piddly issues but nevertheless must mention: At 3-3/4" x 5-1/2" these are undersized compared to the standard 4-1/4"x6" most postcard people prefer. But if mailing domestically, these easily qualify for the current USPS postcard rate. The card stock is quite thick and I'm confident they can safely traverse the rigors of postal machines/international travel. However, my cards all have a 'lip' at the edges--a sign of a dull edged or poorly functioning machine blade...this will vary by set, I'm sure, and is likely testament to how nice and thick of cardstock was used, but handling these cards reminds me of the homemade slice jobs I achieve when using my cheapy scrapbook paper cutter.The backsides are just shy of a true matte, they're only very lightly coated but choose your pen wisely to prevent smearing. In some cases the informational blurb, over the message side, is quite long and detailed; these are already undersized, you can't be long winded. Write tiny!A very economically priced set that comes in a 'collectible' high quality cardboard book-style box containing the 100 unbound cards. A handy key to the acronyms used by the Agency, glued to the bottom of the inside of the box, makes traversing the shorthand (IDA=International Docking Adapter) both easy and educational.

I had no idea there were such lovely postcards out there until I started Postcrossing, and started searching for cards to send. This set of NASA images has just been published in 2017 and I am very well pleased with them.There are no repeats in this set of 100 cards. They are all NASA images, but they were taken in different places, such as from Apollo 4, the Spitzer Space Telescope, the Hubble spacecraft, Caltech or the la Plata Observatory. Some images are colorized and some are not. Images range from single space objects (such as our moon) to panoramas (such as the Milky Way).Each postcard has a nice description, such as:"Andromeda and Satellite Galaxies: This image shows the Andromeda Galaxy and two satellite galaxies: Messier 32 (M32), the blue dot just above Andromeda, to the left of its center, and Messier 110 (M110), the hazy blue oval below the central spiral of Andromeda."and"A Solar Flare: SDO captured this solar flare – the brightest, most luminous spot in the middle of the Sun – on December 16, 2014. Solar flares are magnetic storms that release enormous amounts of hot gseous particles and arc out thousands of miles from the Sun's surface."I wouldn't blame you if these cards whet your appetite for larger NASA photos. There are a lot of books out there with great photos, especially the amazing Hubble Telescope pictures. One of my favorites though, is a lesser known book. was published in 2013, and covers photos that were part of a travelling Smithsonian exhibit. These photos were all taken from "robotic space probes" and are simply wonderful, as was the exhibit itself.Each postcard in this set measures 5 and 9/16" x 3 and 13/16". The card stock is a little heavier than regular tourist-style postcards and still takes regular postcard postage. The cards come in a lovely solar image-covered box, with a ribbon to ease the removal of the cards.I hope that the people I send these to enjoy them as much as I do.Happy Reader
