Pioneer Plaque Pin
Pioneer Plaque Pin
Pioneer 10 & Pioneer 11 were space probes launched in the early 1970s designed to study Jupiter, Saturn, and the heliosphere. These probes were the first to fly through the asteroid belt and they also provided some of the best images of the gas giants of the time. As they continue to drift away, no longer in contact with Earth, they are among only 5 artificial objects with the velocity to the solar system. They are now over 10 billion miles from Earth.
A plaque with this same design was affixed to both Pioneer probes expected to leave the solar system; a message in a bottle for any extraterrestrial life that might find them. By wearing this pin, you are a pioneer—spreading human curiosity across the universe.

WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY
You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.
We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.
With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.
