Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsWanted...a good astronomy poster
I'm hunting for a good astronomy poster for my son's bedroom.Maybe something solar system themed. And not some kid's cartoon, I'm looking for something like you'd want hung outside the offices at the astronomy dept at your local university. Are there any good resources for this sort of thing? Like a science museum with an online shop?

He worked at Area 51 and sold top-secret UFO blueprints to Testor.

Loved the line about "no reload kit" for his missile silo in Roswell, New Mexico.
So ok to buy posters from them but not explosives per the federal crime convictions.
