The STS 28 Patch, issued by NASA, represents a significant event in space exploration. This patch was specifically designed for Space Transportation System (STS) mission 28, also known as the Discovery (OV-103) flight, which took place on September 29, 1989. The mission's primary objective was to deploy the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit, a device that would significantly advance astronomy and space science for decades to come. The STS 28 patch features a stylized representation of Earth, symbolizing humanity's ongoing journey through space. A rocket, emitting flames and ascending from the bottom left corner, signifies the launch vehicle. The Hubble Space Telescope is depicted as a spiral galaxy in the upper right corner, symbolizing its role in deep-space exploration. The patch also includes various elements that highlight the mission's scientific importance. For example, the DNA double helix represents the genetic research that could be facilitated by the Hubble Space Telescope. The atomic symbol in the center signifies the fundamental particles of matter and energy, further emphasizing the exploration of the universe. The STS 28 patch serves as a visual reminder of this historic mission, commemorating human achievements in space travel and telescopic observation that continue to shape our understanding of the cosmos.

Color-changing ceramic mugs with a glossy finish, black exterior, and white interior. Available in one size: 11 oz (≈330 ml). Heat-reactive coating reveals your custom design when filled with hot liquid. BPA- and lead-free, with a comfortable C-handle.

This mug brings a playful twist to the daily coffee or tea ritual. At room temperature, it looks like a simple black mug with a glossy finish. But add a hot beverage, and your chosen design fades into view, showing vivid colors against the white interior.

The ceramic body is durable enough for repeated use, while the C-shaped handle balances comfort and grip. Printing uses sublimation techniques that fuse color into the heat-reactive surface for crisp results when the design appears.

  • Material: ceramic with glossy black exterior and white interior.
  • Size: one standard size, 11 oz (≈330 ml).
  • Finish: glossy glaze with heat-sensitive surface.
  • Printing: sublimation process produces crisp, vibrant colors.
  • Safety: BPA-free and lead-free, suitable for everyday drinks.
  • Effect: design is faintly visible when cold, fully revealed when hot.

Perfect as a novelty gift or a fun personal mug, the heat-reactive design makes coffee breaks more engaging. It works well for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or hot chocolate.

  1. Daily routine: fill with any hot beverage to reveal your chosen artwork.
  2. Gifting: the “magic” reveal makes it a memorable present for birthdays, holidays, or office exchanges.
  3. Office use: sparks conversation while still being practical for everyday drinks.

Note: for best results, avoid designs that rely heavily on deep black backgrounds, as they may blend with the mug’s surface when cold.

Unlike standard mugs, color-changing mugs require gentler care to preserve the heat-reactive coating. Hand-wash only — avoid the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish and reduce the effect.

The mug is safe for short microwave use when heating liquids, but repeated high-heat cycles may shorten the lifespan of the coating. Always allow the mug to cool before washing.

Available in one classic size: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml). It’s large enough for most standard coffee makers and fits comfortably in most cabinets.
