i've been doing an astronomy internship this summer, and we recently talked about the space telescopes! wanted to personify some of them hehe.
James Webb (they/them): Their shiny poncho thing is inspired by the solar shield. They have a rivalry with Hubble, believing him to be obsolete. However, they secretly are worried they won't be able to live up to his legacy.
Hubble (he/him): His glasses represent the COSTAR instrument that was installed on Hubble to correct it's blurry images. He finds James Webb's attempt at a rivalry amusing, and just wants to become friends with the younger fella and help them out.
Nancy Grace Roman (she/her): A telescope not yet launched, she's an old NRO telescope, and is having trouble adjusting from a life of espionage to one of science.
They invented telescopes that can slayyy
Fun facts: Webb's outfit is inspired by U.S. navy uniforms because she's kinda shaped like a boat and a lot of engineers describe her using nautical terms. Hubble's glasses are prescription (corrective optics) but Webb's are just for fashion. Also Hubble's a Raiders fan cause he was assembled in the bay area and the Raiders were in Oakland at that time. They fight like a married couple.
I’m thinking about how Hubble and JWST technically live-streamed DART’s death 💀 I am imagining them voicing over the footage like “YOOO BRO GOT REKTD GG” 💥💥💥

Planetary Nebula NGC 2440
Planetary nebula NGC 2440 is a relic of a star once like our Sun that has cast off its outer layers of gas, forming a colorful cocoon around the star's remaining core.
I can't tell if these are all real but they are all so gorgeous!!
