“This early morning notice may keep some people out of trouble. Personally, I do not take Valentine’s Day too seriously…..but I understand that tradition forces many to comply with Cupid’s Rules.
Be careful, the Valentines shown below are not good for your significant others. Your insignificant others? That is a different story.” -Sheila Tolley-
“I have never understood why the ever-so-overused-poem states that Violets are blue. Violets are violet. Bluebells are blue.”
As a rule, nothing is more impersonal and cold than an airport. They all look alike ! Here, with this kind of initiative, I am sure travelers will remember their visit to Brussels. In a waiting room at Brussels airport, master paintings were hung on the wall. In itself, this is already an original initiative. But that’s not all. Thanks to a millimeter video-projection system, a little cupid manages to escape from a painting by Rubens ( La Fête de Venus ). A feat that is both funny, impressive and full of fantasy…
Explanation: Roses are red, nebulas are too, and this Valentine’s gift is a stunning view! Pictured is a loving look at the Rosette Nebula (NGC 2237): a cosmic bloom of bright young stars sitting atop a stem of glowing hot gas. The rose’s blue-white speckles are among the most luminous stars in the galaxy, with some burning millions of times brighter than the Sun. Their stellar winds sculpt the famed rose shape by pushing gas and dust away from the center. Though only a few million years old, these massive stars are already nearing the end of their lives, while dimmer stars embedded in the nebula will burn for billions of years to come. The vibrant red hue comes from hydrogen gas, ionized by the ultraviolet light from the young stars. The rose’s blue-white center is color-mapped to indicate the presence of similarly ionized oxygen. The Rosette Nebula reminds us of the beauty and transformation woven into the fabric of the universe.
