In the darkest night, the Milky Way tears its way across the sky. The silhouette of an observatory – our gateway to the stars – leads our imagination out across the blackness to whatever lies beyond.
Each cover in the Dark Matter series celebrates the beauty found in darkness and the scenes made by the faintest light. Let your creativity run wild in the black pages of this Gateway to the Stars Notebook.
This extra-thick 120 gsm black paper works great with gel pens (for the brightest colors, look for ones that are formulated to work on dark media, like our Supernova Pens), metallic pens, pastels and even some paints!

If you've never tried a black paper notebook, now's the time! Your problem sets, class notes, sketches and journal will have never looked cooler.
Be inspired to ask the right questions, find creative solutions to complex problems, and beauty in the little things.
The textured covers of these notebooks have the feel of old textbooks, and with advanced lay-flat pages, they want to fall open, like a well-loved library book. Go ahead and see for yourself – these are the notebooks your most brilliant ideas, sketches, and illustrations have been waiting for.

Great products great quality
I got a pencil bag, a coffee mug, a couple notebooks, two thermoses (sp?) note paper … each for the architect, the mathematician, the geologist, the botanist, and the bicycle enthusiasts. All great Christmas gifts.
Great mug!
This is a great mug. While it isn't heavy, it is still very strong. The design details are fun and attention grabbing. Very pleased with this purchase.
Great detail on the bag. Just the perfect gift for my CVICU nurse friend!

So fun for PhD student
Perfect gift for the PhD student in your life. Beautiful and multifunctional.
Great gift—well received
I was hesitant to give a water bottle as a gift as it seems everyone already has multiples, but this one is so unique and adding the tea infuser and straw tops makes it really versatile. It was a hit. I would definitely recommend it.

So cute! It came quicker than expected and arrived with cute bug tape. The actual gift was so well made and is a gift for a friend, so excited to give it to them!

Ornithology: Birds Tea Infuser
A big hit!
Got this mug as a gift for my daughter and she adores it! She loves the fact that her lab mates recognize what the design is right away but for someone who isn’t familiar with gel electrophoresis it’s still an interesting pattern. She liked the size and quality of the mug, too. She was especially appreciative of Cognitive Surplus’s sustainability and social impact policies and felt good about supporting your company.
