POCKET CALCULATOR

Here's another Mega Man oc of mine! He's called Spitzer and he's inspired by the Spitzer Space Telescope! Along with James Webb, he is one of my favourites!

I created him on the day the Spitzer Space Telescope deactivated so he ended up being quite gloomy in personality.

Personality: Aloof, serious, quiet, lonely

Likes: Research, looking for exoplanets

Dislikes: Too much heat, noisy robots, loneliness

One of James Webb's predecessors, he can see the universe around him in infrared light. Being incredibly advanced and intelligent, he starts to question his existence and purpose and soon develops an existential crisis. He is a workaholic and rarely spends time with his siblings.

It's a 3-and-1/2-human-sized-coveralls-stitched-together sort of dig

Happy Earth Day! (2 days late but, ehh, whatevs!)

Off to catch a date with the sun!

Speeding through at over 500 times the speed of sound, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flew through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – on December 14th, where it sampled it’s particles and magnetic fields. Going where no probe has gone before.

So long Bennu, thanks for the gravel.

As you may have heard, the OSIRIS-REx mission was successful and bountiful! The device lid actually got jammed in the process so now they're cutting all unnecessary operations to prevent sample loss and it’s back to earth.

Happy Sputnik day!

4 October 1957 - 63 years ago today - the first artificial satellite was put in Earth’s orbit by the Soviet Union.

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.
