“Of course I’ll be your Valentine!!”

After months of getting closer to each other, spending days together, having picnics after those long training sessions, lots of pining, and so on, they both wanted to ask each other out but didn’t know just how to do it (bc Victorians and the general views on homosexuality at the time along with the nervousness that comes from admitting one’s most tender feelings towards another), fearing a negative reaction and etc, so they simply waited for the special date.

They got some of each other’s faves for the occasion: Chocolate for Jonathan. Flowers –Forget-me-nots, more specifically– for Robert, and just hoped for the best. Little did they know the big surprise the other already had in mind~

I like to think Jonathan isn’t very good with the language of flowers, so he probably bought a fancy book on the subject and spent hours going through it, and then asking lots of questions to the kind lady at the flower shop (bless her soul for helping this clueless big guy).

The flowers in the bouquet are: (not pictured) Gilliflowers for “Bonds of affection”, Red tulips for “Confession of love”, Perennial Peas for “Will you go out with me?”, (not pictured) Four-leaved Clovers for “Be mine”, and Forget Me Nots for “True love” (and because they are also Robert’s favorite flower).

📣 Attention, space explorers! Our Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope presents: two new coloring pages! Unleash your creativity to bring these celestial scenes to life.

Nancy Grace Roman, NASA’s first chief astronomer, smiles out at us from our first coloring page. She’s considered the mother of our Hubble Space Telescope because she helped everyone understand why it was important to have observatories in space – not just on the ground. If it weren’t for her, Hubble may have never become a reality.

The Roman Space Telescope is named after her to honor the legacy she left behind when she died in 2018. Thanks to Nancy Grace Roman, we’ve taken countless pictures of space from orbiting telescopes and learned so much more about the universe than we could have possibly known otherwise!

The second coloring page illustrates some of the exciting science topics the Roman Space Telescope will explore. Set to launch in the mid-2020s, the mission will view the universe in infrared light, which is like using heat vision. We’ll be able to peer through clouds of dust and see things that are much farther away.

We anticipate all kinds of discoveries from the edge of our solar system to the farthest reaches of space. This coloring page highlights a few of the things the Roman Space Telescope will help us learn more about. The mission will find thousands of planets beyond our solar system and hundreds of millions of galaxies. It will also help us unravel the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, represented by the gray web-like pattern in the background. With so much exciting new data, who knows what else we may learn?

me, like an hour later:

An animal accepting the offer of friendship is the purest gift one can receive.

“It’s a tradition, I must do something! I can’t let my life’s flame sputter out! This is the Zeppeli family spirit, from the past to the future! The human spirit! “
