Hearts — The Hidden Physics That Controls the Solar System
Gravity slingshots, Kepler’s laws, Roche limits, orbital motion, these aren’t just textbook terms. They are the invisible rules shaping planets, moons, rings, comets, and spacecraft trajectories across the Solar System. These cards turn complex astronomy into visual, intuitive explanations that make celestial mechanics feel surprisingly easy to understand.
-
Clubs — The Spacecraft That Expanded Humanity’s Reach
Voyager, Cassini-Huygens, Mars probes, and other legendary missions that traveled farther and discovered more than anyone thought possible. Learn what made each mission historic, how long they traveled, what fuel systems they used, and the engineering breakthroughs behind their discoveries. Every card tells the story of a machine sent into the unknown to answer questions humanity had asked for centuries.

Diamonds — A Complete Tour of the Solar System
The Solar System is far more than just planets. These cards explore the Sun, comets, solar wind, asteroids, planetary rings, and many other fascinating objects and phenomena that shape our cosmic neighborhood. You’ll begin to see the Solar System not as isolated worlds, but as one giant interconnected system constantly influenced by gravity, radiation, motion, and time.
