  • some tektites
  • lithograph pictures from Spitzer Space Telescope
  • an Earth squishy ball
  • two pairs of eclipse glasses that let you safely view the Sun (donated by Phil’s friend Stephen Ramsden of the Charlie Bates Solar Observatory)
  • an issue of Astronomy magazine that has an article Phil wrote about UFOs
