Alt text: Cartoon glaciers, represented by bright blue and white abstract shapes against a navy background. Two black and white penguinsstand hear the center. White stars of various sizes twinkle in the background. A tiny cartoon ICESat-2 satellite, which has a silver body and one long purple solar panel, zooms across the image. Near the middle, it pauses ande emis six green beams toward the ice. Curly white fonts reads "You're nICE," with the ice capitalized.

You're one in a septillion.

Alt text: One of Hubble’s deep field images, with countless stars and galaxies against a black background. The galaxies look more like smudges of blue, orange, and white light. The stars are similar in color, but have four distinct points. In curly white font in the bottom right corner, text reads “You’re one in a septillion.”

We're a perfect fit.

Alt text: A visualization of Jupiter and its magnetic field. Jupiter is centered in the image, with horizontal stripes of light brown, beige, white, and burnt orange. Jupiter's north and south poles each have a glowing blue halo. From these blue circles, beams of blue and purple emit out in a wide arc, creating a round cage encircling the planet, the magnetic field. Curly white font reads "You're absolutely magnetic."

You're Mars-velous

Alt text: The Sun against a black background. The Sun is a vivid orange with mottles of bright yellow and darker reds swirling around its surface. A burst of orange erupts from the Sun toward the 5 o’clock region. In curly white font in the top right corner, text reads “You're the light of my life.”

I've set my sights on you!

Alt text: The Webb telescope in a clean room. The telescope has a mirror made of 18 gold hexagons fitted together like honeycomb. The telescope is facing toward the camera, with the white walls of the clean room behind it. Curly white font reads "I've set my sights on you!"

Our love is golden!

Alt text: The Webb telescope in a clean room. The telescope is in the bottom right corner. It has a mirror made of 18 gold hexagons fitted together like honeycomb. The telescope is turned toward the right, as if it's looking out of frame. Curly white font reads "Our love is golden!"

A hug and a GISS from us to you.

Alt text: A satellite image of the full disk of Earth. South America is prominent in the frame, with Earth's northern winter tilt making the southern hemisphere more visible. Land masses are mostly brown with green vegetation visible. The planet looks mostly blue with swirls and spots of white clouds. White curly font reads "A hug and a GISS from us to you."

Our love is like a contact binary asteroid: We're so close it confuses people.

Alt text: An image of a small, contact binary asteroid in the upper left corner, against a black background. The asteroids are a light gray, with a grainy image quality. White curly font reads "Our love is like a contact binary asteroid: We're so close it confuses people."

Call me the Southern Ring Nebula the way I am nearly dead inside.

Alt text: A black background speckled with tiny bright stars and distant galaxies. A planetary nebula is a misshapen oval that is slightly angled from top left to bottom right and takes up the majority of the image. A bright white star at the center has long diffraction spikes. Large, transparent teal and orange ovals, which are shells ejected by the unseen central star, surround it. White curly font reads "Call me the Southern Ring Nebula the way I am nearly dead inside."

You make my heart pick up the PACE.

Alt text: A satellite image of a phytoplankton bloom in the Barents Sea. Medium blue and turquoise swirls intersperse through dark blue ocean water. Curly white font reads "You make my heart pick up the PACE."

Listen...I could use some space.

Alt text: The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center. Curly white font reads "Listen...I could use some space."

It's always clear skies with you.

Alt text: NASA’s P-3 airplane on an icy field against a bright blue sky. The plane is in the left side of the image, pointing slightly to the right. Its four propellers are still. Curly white font reads “It’s always clear skies with you.”

Doing fine with all my friends {out here in the Kuiper Belt}>

Alt text: Pluto against a black backdrop. Pluto is in the upper left quadrant. It is a beige sphere, with crater marks and bumps of darker brown. In Pluto’s lower right hemisphere, a lighter brown icy feature is shaped like a heart. Across the lower part of Pluto, curly white font reads “Doing fine with all my friends (out here in the Kuiper Belt).”

Put a ring on it.

Alt text: Saturn against a black backdrop. Saturn is shades of buttery yellow, gold, and muted oranges, striping the planet horizontally. It’s surrounded by yellow, brown, and beige rings. The inner rings are more yellow, with a black gap separating darker brown rings near the outside. Saturn is lit from the right side, so its shadow falls along the rings around the 10 o’clock region. In curly white font along the bottom, text reads “Put a ring on it.”

This love is looking like a scrub.

Alt text: A small sounding rocket on its launcher, elevated up vertically. The sun is bright behind the launcher and rocket, creating a silhouette effect making the rocket and launcher darker. The launcher is slightly taller than the rocket, and has thick base with a metal brace that looks like a ladder along the right side of the rocket in the image. Curly white font reads "This love is looking like a scrub."

You've got me like a sounding rocket. No matter how far I go, I always come back.

Alt text: Long exposure photo of a sounding rocket trail, which looks like a bright yellow line extending from the ground up to the top right corner. The night sky in the background is lit by swirls of green aurora. Curly white font reads “You’ve got me like a sounding rocket (No matter how far I go, I always come back!).”

You're pretty Super, Tiger.

Alt text: The SuperTIGER balloon inflating against the light blue sky and icy white expanse of Antarctica. The balloon is a huge white teardrop shape. Curly white font reads "You're pretty super, tiger."

My heart is as cold as the far side of Webb's sunshield.

Alt text: An animation of the Webb telescope against a black backdrop. The telescope is in the bottom right corner. It has a mirror made of 18 gold hexagons fitted together like honeycomb, pointed toward the bottom left. Below the primary mirror, the telescope’s sunshield is silver and shaped like a diamond. In curly white font in the top left corner, text reads “My heart is as cold as the far side of Webb’s sunshield.”

Our love is like Bennu: I thought it was solid, but it turned out to be pretty rocky.

Alt text: The asteroid Bennu on a black background. Bennu is uniformly gray and shaped like a diamond. Its surface is covered with small rocks and boulders, giving it a lumpy appearance. In curly white font over the asteroid, text reads “Our love is like Bennu: I thought it was solid, but it turned out to be pretty rocky.”

I love you to the Moon and back {464421.5 miles to be exact}.

Alt text: A visualization of Earth rising above the surface of the Moon, against a black backdrop. Earth is blue with swirls of white clouds and green and brown land peeking through. It’s visible in gibbous form, so only the top ⅔ are visible. The rest of Earth is swallowed by darkness. The Moon’s surface is a bumpy, uneven gray stretching across the bottom of the image. In curly white font below Earth, text reads “I love you to the Moon and back (464421.5 miles to be exact).”
