Since you're reading this, then you must want to know a little about me. My name is Celeste, I have blonde hair, and I really like both Coffee and Tea. I enjoy playing the clarinet and I like listening to Frank Sinatra.

Helios-A and Helios-B (also known as Helios 1 and Helios 2), are a pair of probes launched into heliocentric orbit for the purpose of studying solar processes. A joint venture of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and NASA, the probes were launched from the John F. Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Dec. 10, 1974, and Jan. 15, 1976, respectively.
The probes are notable for having set a maximum speed record among spacecraft at 252,792 km/h (157,078 mi/h or 43.63 mi/s or 70.22 km/s or 0.000234c). Helios 2 flew three million kilometers closer to the Sun than Helios 1, achieving perihelion on 17 April 1976 at a record distance of 0.29 AU (or 43.432 million kilometers), slightly inside the orbit of Mercury. Helios 2 was sent into orbit 13 months after the launch of Helios 1. The Helios space probes completed their primary missions by the early 1980s, but they continued to send data up to 1985. The probes are no longer functional but still remain in their elliptical orbit around the Sun
I’ve contributed the art (and pal Leonard Pierce contributed the concept) for our super-powered simian contribution to the excellent The Ultimate Powers Jam project, here’s APESHIT!
The entries on this site so far have just been terrific, we felt a real pressure to turn in something unique. Check out the other entries here (and watch Kyle Starks in particular set the bar with Baron Perdu)
dumb tiny panel from scott pilgrim vol 4 that i always thought was kinda funny. but it’s not funny now, because it’s out of context.
