Boulder, Colorado — Make a Special Impact on Someone at Valentine’s Day
Today, space public engagement company Uwingu announced three space themed ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day:
- Name a crater on Mars for family, friends, or loved ones on our Mars map! Each crater named receives a special Valentine’s Day certificate.
- Name an exoplanet around another star for family, friends, or loved ones.
- Send a yearlong gift subscription to family, friends, or loved ones to space image of the day service, a Valentine that keeps on giving!
