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.

Soviet space dogs project! U can print your own and fold it like a zine too :-)
Fun fact!!! Zib’s name is initials which stand for (roughly) “replacement for missing Bolik” as Bolik ran away a day before his flight. Had to guesstimate on a few of these bc it’s very hard to find pics of the dogs with their corresponding names.
Roll out the red carpet fellas!Â
I think now’s a good time to mention that I really, really like ChipSpeech. It’s a funky little piece of software but boy is it awesome!

History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik 1, the world's first artificial satellite. It was around the size of a beach ball, weighed 83.6 kg (183.9 pounds), and took about 98 minutes to orbit Earth on its elliptical path. This ushered in a new age of political, military, technological, and scientific developments, and although the Sputnik launch was a single event, it marked the start of the space age and the U.S.-U.S.S.R space race.
