It would be nice, but as the recent "Astronomy Pictures of the Year" showed, it'd be tough to narrow it down to just twelve images. *Of course, that would just mean that there would be plenty of images for each year!
bystander, your link is great! I usually get the "Celestial Wonders" calendar from Sky & Telescope, but they didn't seem to be offering it this year, and I had to settle for an astronomy-themed one I found. (It's not bad, but definitely different.) But I'm going to save that link you included and check it again when it comes time for me to get a calendar for 2009 - The Year of Astronomy!![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Maybe you could make your own calendar. There are some sites on the internet that you can use.

There's this internal 2008 NASA "Healthier You" calendar. I have no idea whether you can buy one; I have a photo in it (Luna - Miss March) so they sent me several for free. Note that I am not getting any money whatsoever for this.

And of course there's this calendar-like presentation of past APODs:
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/calendar/allyears.html
And finally, the APOD guys have actually picked 12 of the greatest 2007 images:

I don't see the commercial version Robert mentioned, unless it's that first one above. If you can get one, the print quality is simply beautiful.

I think this is the calendar RJN is referring to. I think Amazon has the title wrong since there are 366 days in 2008. The cover has it right: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images ... 10-0744661

I ran across another, completely different cover image for what sounds like the same calendar. Perhaps the publisher's marketing process was done before the actual cover on the thing was chosen.

Now why can't you just post the link? That is NOT advirtising on a public site.RJN wrote:Actually there is a 2008 daily calendar featuring APOD images. Since it is a commercial product that costs real money, we can't advertise it on a public web site, but perhaps those interested enough can find it (a challenge?).

So now I'm wondering about the images included in this calendar that NoelC and bystander referred to: are they all the images from 2007? Or even years prior to that? Or are they going to be what we see here on APoD proper this year? And if so, should we go ahead and buy it anyway?
Sorry, couldn't help it...... Just kidding, I'm sure it'd be worth it.
But it does seem that the one linked to in both of their posts could be the most likely, as it says in the cover image, it's "Based on the website' Astronomy Picture of the Day'". So, has anyone ordered it/gotten a look at it?

RJN, do you wish to answer this?Indigo_Sunrise wrote:So now I'm wondering about the images included in this calendar that NoelC and bystander referred to: are they all the images from 2007? Or even years prior to that? Or are they going to be what we see here on APoD proper this year?
I know on CFHT's Hawaiian Starlight, the image of the month is the image for that month on the previous year's calendar. This month's image of the month is the image for January on the 2007 calendar.

For anyone interested:
I kept forgetting to come back here and post, but I received my calendar and it's pretty cool! Although, it took some getting used to since it's much smaller in size than the images I see on the computer screen! And it won't replace the APoD site for me either, as I especially like clicking the links in the descriptions at the site and learning, learning, learning.
*I wasn't crazy about the fact that the description for 14 Jan had a rather obvious error in it: it was this image of Saturn:
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap050219.html
but stated that Saturn was "... the largest planet in the solar system...". I always thought that honor went to Jupiter..? Oh well, you learn something new everyday. Plus, we all know that there are errors found in some of the descriptions here, as well.
But overall, nice calendar so far, and it makes a nice desk accessory!
