Ever lie down and just look up at the star?

📣 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?

It's like treasure planet but instead of having treasure inside it has another planet inside. I call it planet planet

Space batteries in my space ship died, waiting for a space jump
After a full day of Friday I think I have just about convinced myself that it is Thursday
Today feels like Friday because it feels like the end of the week but I know it's not Friday because I have Friday off. But it still feels like too much of a Friday to not be Friday, it's like second Friday before Friday because it doesn't feel exactly Friday enought to be first Friday you know?

Just got one space final left, wish me luck
That is a space accountant, their job is to make sure every star is accounted for

I know I should be saying more about space, but I have been really busy with space stuff
In space, no one can tell you when to go to sleep
Oh where's that guy with a compass for a face...
Oh I've met him, he is great with directions

Oh I just love to sit aboard my ship and watch the space fish swim by
There’s something fishy about my latest painting.
Oh you found the space puddle

See? If you look up at space for long enough, you are bound to see a shooting star

Oh I just love wolf-rayet stars
I was doing some designing around fractals in after effects, and came up with this. It reminded me of a blackhole or something like that. Thought you all might like it. I have an animated version too in the comments via /r/spaceporn. Picture posted by /u/has_some_chill.
Is that Bill Wurtz?
‘snatch’
I've got another space meme for y'all. Brace yourselves because this one is a real doozy
You should look up at the night sky more often, shooting stars are more common than you think
Looks like they installed that new security system at the space lauvre

Do werewolves change color depending on the color of the moon?

Comet CG Evaporates : Where do comet tails come from? There are no obvious places on the nuclei of comets from which the jets that create comet tails emanate. One of the best images of emerging jets is shown in the featured picture, taken in 2015 by ESA’s robotic Rosetta spacecraft that orbited Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (Comet CG) from 2014 to 2016. The picture shows plumes of gas and dust escaping numerous places from Comet CG’s nucleus as it neared the Sun and heated up. The comet has two prominent lobes, the larger one spanning about 4 kilometers, and a smaller 2.5-kilometer lobe connected by a narrow neck. Analyses indicate that evaporation must be taking place well inside the comet’s surface to create the jets of dust and ice that we see emitted through the surface. Comet CG (also known as Comet 67P) loses in jets about a meter of radius during each of its 6.44-year orbits around the Sun, a rate at which will completely destroy the comet in only thousands of years. In 2016, Rosetta’s mission ended with a controlled impact onto Comet CG’s surface. via NASA
