We Love Space

[nanila]

Remember those Very Excited Year 4 students that I wrote about (DW/LJ) a few weeks back?

Their thank-you cards arrived yesterday.

Heartfelt and wonderful works of art that they are, I thought they merited scanning in and sharing. I shall treasure them.


"Thank you Dr [nanila]!" by Beattie


Beattie says: "To Dr [nanila], I loved learning about space it was epic and one day I would like to move to the moon! from Beattie". On the facing page, SPACE is written in coloured letters surrounded by pink hearts.


"Thank you Dr [nanila]!" by Jonah and Ella


Jonah and Ella say: "Dear Dr [nanila], Thank you for your brilliant presentation on space and when we can move to the moon. We learnt a lot and told our friends and family. After that talk we now want to move to the moon. It was amazing seeing what you do and how long it takes to prepare and launch a spaceship. We hope other people get to meet you as your talk was inspiring. From Jonah and Ella."

Mylinh says: "To Dr [nanila], Thank you for teaching me more about space. Your The BEST!" (A portrait of me is also included.)

That's lovely!

[nanila]

It is. I keep going back to look at these photos and smiling.

[clanwilliam]

Those are fabulous and lovely and I'm not surprised you cried.

[nanila]

I made sure I was alone in the office before I opened the envelope. <3333

[forthwritten]

Adorable! I especially like the one of all the orbits - very impressive!

[nanila]

It's evident that they put a good deal of time and effort into these. It's so touching. :)

[weaverbird]

I seem to have something in my eye.... *sniff* <3333

[nanila]

*proffers box of tissues* Me too. *wibble*

[major_clanger]

Those are wonderful!

[nanila]

They're all lined up on my desk. I want to figure out a way to frame them. :)

[silveradept]

They're all wonderful and adorable and d'awwwwww.

[nanila]

I go all mushy every time I revisit this post!

[djm4]

Those are wonderful and touching, and I have special love for the one with the comet's tail pointing away from the sun.

[nanila]

I noticed that too! I also love how others have captured the ring orientation of Saturn and Uranus wrt the ecliptic plane.

[yvi]

Made me smile, thanks for sharing.

[nanila]

Very glad to have provided a smile. Much love beaming over the Channel.

[boundbooks]

That is at least twenty buckets of adorable. No, thirty! <3

I love hearing about your outreach work! :D

[nanila]

I'm glad it brought you joy as well!

I'm not sure I'll be doing much more outreach before the end of the year, but if I do, I'll be sure to report back on it. :D

[ironed_orchid]

These are great. I love the one on black paper, how they used the black to be space, and remembered to put a spot on Jupiter.

[nanila]

Me too. A particularly special amount of care and sincere sentiment went into that card.

[lark_ascends]

Gorgeous.

And by the sounds of it, well deserved. :-D

[nanila]

:D Thank you!

[askygoneonfire]

This is all going to be submitted in the next REF, right? ;-)

Totally wonderful. How cool you get to inspire them so much (and I adore the enthusiasm for moon-life)

[nanila]

Ahaha, yeah, right. :D

It's such a pleasure to be able to spend a half-day every few months doing this.
