Giuseppe Piazzi Shirt, Funny Astronomy Tee, Science Teacher Gift for Stargazers, Astronomers and Space Lovers

A funny astronomy gift for science teachers and stargazers: the chibi storybook-watercolor Giuseppe Piazzi, a priest-astronomer at his brass telescope, points at a tiny grumpy space rock and says "Found a planet on New Year's Day. It got demoted."

A funny, cute Giuseppe Piazzi gift for an astronomy fan, a science or physics teacher, an amateur stargazer or anyone who still has feelings about planets being reclassified.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
On the night of January 1, 1801, at the observatory in Palermo, Sicily, the priest and astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi spotted a faint new object creeping across the stars. It was hailed as a new planet, was later reclassified as an asteroid, and in 2006 it was moved again, to dwarf planet.
