Space Shuttle in Space

This is a mug found at the Smithsonian Institute, at any of the Gift Shops near the Air and Space Museum.  It is one of my first wrap-around designs.  The design is one picture which wraps around all three sides. 
When cold, the picture shows a starry sky with the surface of the earth to the lower right corner.  The color is dark brown, and I imagine it was once a darker color (perhaps black) as the mug shows minor microwave damage to the color layer.
The color change does work, however and shows both the Space Shuttle, in careful detail along with an astronaut in mid space-walk.  At the lower left corner is the logo of the Smithsonian Institute. 

Across the top is the rather dry label
SHUTTLE IN SPACE
ASTRONAUT IN EVA (EXTRAVEHICULAR ACTIVITY)
SPACEWALK NEAR EARTH ORBITING SPACE SHUTTLE. 


DESIGN:  3 Sided Wrao-Around
THERMOCHROMIC: 1 Color
TYPE: Retail Purchase
