Yesterday I was playing with Wordle and decided to create this image (click to enlarge) which shows all the main bodies of the Solar System - and then some. Each object has its font sized determined by its real-life diameter.

You can also buy a similar design on a t-shirt from the Orbiting Frog Shop. Available in sizes for women, men and kids in many colours. Prices start at $18 (£9) for kids and $20 (£10) for adults, international delivery available. There is the design you see above and also a black and white, vertical option.

Here’s a cool new design from the Orbiting Frog Shop. It’s a t-shirt which shows a puzzle. The aim is to identify the 24 silhouetted space-related objects. It has been a while since I featured anything from the Orbiting Frog Shop, but with the recent spate of posts I thought was time once again to show what you could be wearing around the planet.

This design is available in a wide range of sizes and colours for grown ups and kids alike. Prices start at $17.99 for kids t-shirts and from $19.99 for adults. Items can be delivered worldwide and delivery times are excellent, even outside the USA.

Oh, and just in case you were wondering, the answers are printed on the bottom of the front of the t-shirt upside down. This way they can easily be read by the wearer of the item but not so easily by everyone else.

Two new designs in the Orbiting Frog Shop this week that are worth noting. ‘Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining’ depicts a cloud blocking the Sun whilst a series of Ag symbols cling to its edges. ‘Parallel Universes’ shows the word universe twice, in parallel; perfect for anyone who understands what it means…

You’ll find ‘Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining’ in the Miscellaneous section, whilst ‘Parallel Universes’ is listed under Astronomy. Both start at $19.99 and are available in many colours.

This week’s featured item from the Orbiting Frog Shop comes from the Astronomy section. Coasters depicting the relative sizes of the planets let you see how your cups and mugs fit into the Solar System.

My Tippex comes in at about a Neptune whilst my mug is a Venus or a Jupiter depending on which of the two coasters I’m using. These coasters are available for $5.49 (£2.30 approx) each plus postage. They come in terrestrial and gas giant varieties.

I’ve had reports that in the US they deliver very quickly. It seems to take a couple of weeks to get the UK, but it isn’t very expensive. Also new this week are the Newton’s Force of Attraction tops and the WOW signal t-shirts.

That’s this week’s self-promotion done with.

Orbiting Frog is spreading out and heading into other parts of the internet. You can now buy science and astronomy based goodies via the Orbiting Frog Shop! T-shirts, mousepads, coasters and other paraphernalia will start to become available over the next few weeks and months as designs make their way into the store.

To kick off the store there are some great designs including my favourite ‘Sizes of the Planets’ t-shirt which shows the relative sizes of all the planets in the Solar System (including Dwarves). You can also purchase these as coasters.

Also featuring in the store are the first 3 in a series of t-shirts displaying the wavelength of the colour you’re wearing. There are more planned but for now we have ‘It’s not easy being 510nm‘, ‘Nothing rhymes with 590nm‘ and ‘Feeling 475nm‘.

All are available in men’s and women’s sizes and in a wide range of colours (although obviously the wavelength items only feature certain… well wavelengths). Just browse around the store to see the various options.

More items will be featured here on the blog, once in a while, as they are added to the store. I have no intention of filling my blog with ads for my own shop, but this is a nice way to make something back from the website, and it’s fun.

I hope you’ll enjoy wearing some of the geekiest items around.

(All prices are in US Dollars, meaning that whilst delivery takes a little longer, users in the UK can take advantage of current exchange rates.)
