Space.com appreciates unique efforts to highlight the awesomeness of space science, which is why the online project Spaceprob.es caught our eye. It's a one-stop-shop website for learning about all the human-made space probes currently studying the cosmos — plus, the site features sharp graphic designs of all the probes, available as posters and stickers..
The Spaceprob.es website features a list of all the active probes in space, with a short description of where they are, when they launched and what they're doing. The site also has a great graphic design element: instead of regular photographs of the probes, each machine is shown only as a sharp, black silhouette, framed by a colorful rectangle.
The website was created by two space-science enthusiasts and outreach specialists. Ariel Waldman is the creator of Spacehack.org and the global director of Science Hack Day. She is also part of NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts Program, which "nurtures radical, sci-fi-esque ideas that could transform future space missions," according to Waldman's website. She sits on the NIAC External Council, which is "a small group of visionaries, from quantum physicists to science fiction authors, that advise the program."
