In case astronomical discovery from the Hubble Space Telescope is within the scope of your "space" plans, feel free to browse our offerings for the museum / planetarium community here:

General access to Hubble press release images and other educational resources can be found here:

Alas, we don't deal in artifacts, just beautiful images and data!

Sincerely,

John Stoke
