I was asked whether I could design the logo for the oncoming @SpaceUpUK.
* 5-6th July 2014, London *
So here is the timeline of my brainstorming and design process, also showing a collection of existing SpaceUp logos as well as some elements and symbols representing the United Kingdom and #Space.
I introduced my ideas and suggestions to several #SpaceTweeps friends around a visit inside Stonehenge and together we chose the following elements for the final design:
* The Union Jack, which I designed in form of a compass rose to reflect the United Kingdom and Greenwich - "the centre of space and time"
* the London Eye - eye to the world - each of its capsules reflecting #SpaceTweeps from all around the world being closely connected and circling around a central element: their shared love of space
* a telescope - observing how a comet illuminates the #SpaceUp (UP) idea and the United Kingdom (UK)
* several stars and two special constellations:
1) LEO - LION
reflecting the coat of arms of the UK
as well as #LowEarthOrbit ,
the home of #ISS and currently of all people, who are spending time away from earth, enjoying a truly special view of our #BlueDot from space.
Constellation LEO also was already part of our first design idea for badges for the very 1st European #SpaceTweetup ever at DLR / European Astronaut Center (EAC) in Cologne in September 2011 ( www.esa.int/esatv/Videos/2011/09/First_European_SpaceTweetup ) - based on the name of our son #BabySpaceTweep @LightspeedLeo, the youngest "official" participant there ;-)
Since then this element has been part of many of my designs.
The 1st European #SpaceTweetup event brought together a group of #Spaceholix from all over the world and ignited the spark of the European space movement. Since 2011 its participants grew together to a constantly increasing #SpaceFamily, sharing unforgettable events at impressive places.
And yes, there the people bringing the #SpaceUp idea from the US to Europe met and my husband Eico and his fellow-organizers did an awesome job in 2012 and we love to see how the #SpaceUp movement is spreading since @SpaceUpEU took place in Genk/ Belgium and hence I integrated that special connection in my new design.
2) DRACO - DRAGON
reflecting the Welsh dragon
as well as the partially reusable spacecraft developed by @SpaceX, which has docked to #ISS already several times and will deliver cargo regularly and which is up to even more amazing steps.
And - like LEO - a certain DRAGON has special connections to the 1st European #SpaceTweetup as well.
Leo's travelbuddy AKA @PinkLilDragon met its @NASA friend @CamillaSpace again - after their first contact at @SpaceX in Florida during our visit of the original DRAGON capsule a day before we witnessed the launch of #STS135.
Since then these two #SpaceMascots have shared some awesome adventures in many countries.
@PinkLilDragon has shared the stage with moonwalkers, has met more than 100 astronauts, watched rocket launches in Florida and will do so even Baikonur, he was invited to visit the #LHC @CERN and the inner circle of #Stonehenge and thus also has had recurring occurences on different badges as well ;-)
And every single star is also reflecting all the #SpaceTweeps,
who are helping with their ideas, inspiration, support and hard work to make @SpaceUpUK an unforgettable experience for all participants soon.
BTW: This logo is also closely connected to my design, which I created for ESA's competition to name the expedition of Tim Peake in 2015.

My husband and I were so lucky to meet Tim and all the other #Shenanigans already in 2009 shortly after their assignments to fly to #ISS half a decade later during our first visit of #TdLR2009.
Hard to imagine there was a time before @twitter and Facebook...
SPOILER ALERT: I heard if everything goes well, Tim might be joining #SpaceUpUK virtually.
ENJOY - I can't wait to see all your pics and posts soon ;-)

@PinkLilDragon has shared the stage with moonwalkers, has met more than 100 astronauts, watched rocket launches in Florida and will do so even Baikonur, he was invited to visit the #LHC @CERN and the inner circle of #Stonehenge and thus also has had recurring occurences on different badges as well ;-)
And every single star is also reflecting all the #SpaceTweeps,
who are helping with their ideas, inspiration, support and hard work to make @SpaceUpUK an unforgettable experience for all participants soon.
BTW: This logo is also closely connected to my design, which I created for ESA's competition to name the expedition of Tim Peake in 2015.

My husband and I were so lucky to meet Tim and all the other #Shenanigans already in 2009 shortly after their assignments to fly to #ISS half a decade later during our first visit of #TdLR2009.
Hard to imagine there was a time before @twitter and Facebook...
SPOILER ALERT: I heard if everything goes well, Tim might be joining #SpaceUpUK virtually.
ENJOY - I can't wait to see all your pics and posts soon ;-)

I was asked whether I could design the logo for the oncoming @SpaceUpUK.
* 5-6th July 2014, London *
So here is the timeline of my brainstorming and design process, also showing a collection of existing SpaceUp logos as well as some elements and symbols representing the United Kingdom and #Space.
I introduced my ideas and suggestions to several #SpaceTweeps friends around a visit inside Stonehenge and together we chose the following elements for the final design:
* The Union Jack, which I designed in form of a compass rose to reflect the United Kingdom and Greenwich - "the centre of space and time"
* the London Eye - eye to the world - each of its capsules reflecting #SpaceTweeps from all around the world being closely connected and circling around a central element: their shared love of space
* a telescope - observing how a comet illuminates the #SpaceUp (UP) idea and the United Kingdom (UK)
* several stars and two special constellations:
1) LEO - LION
reflecting the coat of arms of the UK
as well as #LowEarthOrbit ,
the home of #ISS and currently of all people, who are spending time away from earth, enjoying a truly special view of our #BlueDot from space.
Constellation LEO also was already part of our first design idea for badges for the very 1st European #SpaceTweetup ever at DLR / European Astronaut Center (EAC) in Cologne in September 2011 ( www.esa.int/esatv/Videos/2011/09/First_European_SpaceTweetup ) - based on the name of our son #BabySpaceTweep @LightspeedLeo, the youngest "official" participant there ;-)
Since then this element has been part of many of my designs.
The 1st European #SpaceTweetup event brought together a group of #Spaceholix from all over the world and ignited the spark of the European space movement. Since 2011 its participants grew together to a constantly increasing #SpaceFamily, sharing unforgettable events at impressive places.
And yes, there the people bringing the #SpaceUp idea from the US to Europe met and my husband Eico and his fellow-organizers did an awesome job in 2012 and we love to see how the #SpaceUp movement is spreading since @SpaceUpEU took place in Genk/ Belgium and hence I integrated that special connection in my new design.
2) DRACO - DRAGON
reflecting the Welsh dragon
as well as the partially reusable spacecraft developed by @SpaceX, which has docked to #ISS already several times and will deliver cargo regularly and which is up to even more amazing steps.
And - like LEO - a certain DRAGON has special connections to the 1st European #SpaceTweetup as well.
Leo's travelbuddy AKA @PinkLilDragon met its @NASA friend @CamillaSpace again - after their first contact at @SpaceX in Florida during our visit of the original DRAGON capsule a day before we witnessed the launch of #STS135.

Since then this element has been part of many of my designs.
The 1st European #SpaceTweetup event brought together a group of #Spaceholix from all over the world and ignited the spark of the European space movement. Since 2011 its participants grew together to a constantly increasing #SpaceFamily, sharing unforgettable events at impressive places.
And yes, there the people bringing the #SpaceUp idea from the US to Europe met and my husband Eico and his fellow-organizers did an awesome job in 2012 and we love to see how the #SpaceUp movement is spreading since @SpaceUpEU took place in Genk/ Belgium and hence I integrated that special connection in my new design.
2) DRACO - DRAGON
reflecting the Welsh dragon
as well as the partially reusable spacecraft developed by @SpaceX, which has docked to #ISS already several times and will deliver cargo regularly and which is up to even more amazing steps.
And - like LEO - a certain DRAGON has special connections to the 1st European #SpaceTweetup as well.
Leo's travelbuddy AKA @PinkLilDragon met its @NASA friend @CamillaSpace again - after their first contact at @SpaceX in Florida during our visit of the original DRAGON capsule a day before we witnessed the launch of #STS135.
Since then these two #SpaceMascots have shared some awesome adventures in many countries.
@PinkLilDragon has shared the stage with moonwalkers, has met more than 100 astronauts, watched rocket launches in Florida and will do so even Baikonur, he was invited to visit the #LHC @CERN and the inner circle of #Stonehenge and thus also has had recurring occurences on different badges as well ;-)
And every single star is also reflecting all the #SpaceTweeps,
who are helping with their ideas, inspiration, support and hard work to make @SpaceUpUK an unforgettable experience for all participants soon.
BTW: This logo is also closely connected to my design, which I created for ESA's competition to name the expedition of Tim Peake in 2015.

My husband and I were so lucky to meet Tim and all the other #Shenanigans already in 2009 shortly after their assignments to fly to #ISS half a decade later during our first visit of #TdLR2009.
Hard to imagine there was a time before @twitter and Facebook...
SPOILER ALERT: I heard if everything goes well, Tim might be joining #SpaceUpUK virtually.

I was asked whether I could design the logo for the oncoming @SpaceUpUK.
* 5-6th July 2014, London *
So here is the timeline of my brainstorming and design process, also showing a collection of existing SpaceUp logos as well as some elements and symbols representing the United Kingdom and #Space.
I introduced my ideas and suggestions to several #SpaceTweeps friends around a visit inside Stonehenge and together we chose the following elements for the final design:
* The Union Jack, which I designed in form of a compass rose to reflect the United Kingdom and Greenwich - "the centre of space and time"
* the London Eye - eye to the world - each of its capsules reflecting #SpaceTweeps from all around the world being closely connected and circling around a central element: their shared love of space
* a telescope - observing how a comet illuminates the #SpaceUp (UP) idea and the United Kingdom (UK)
* several stars and two special constellations:
1) LEO - LION
reflecting the coat of arms of the UK
as well as #LowEarthOrbit ,
the home of #ISS and currently of all people, who are spending time away from earth, enjoying a truly special view of our #BlueDot from space.

Happy 50th anniversary La Silla Observatory
from yours @Spaceholix
with our travelbuddies,
the #SpaceMascots
@PinkLilDragon & houseguest @CamillaSpace
Thank YOU for being such a vital part of #TheCreationOfSpaceInspiration - not only for our family!
By discovering @ESO on social media back in 2012 during your #ESO50Years contest
YOU -amongst other space and science agencies- daily increased my curiosity and my wish to learn more about things out of my everyday business,
to explore and try things well outside my comfort zone and to #DareMightyThings.
One small step led to another and by nurturing that seed in me, an amazing journey gained speed for the three of us.
Thanks to the #MagicPowerOfSocialMedia,
my family and I explored some the most amazing places, met some the most inspiring people ever since, connected with people from all walks of life and from all around our beautiful #BlueDot sharing our passion for #Space and #Science - turning into an ever growing #SpaceFamily.
Thus YOU helped to enrich our lives with numerous unforgettable and often #ForrestGumpLikeMemories.
In a few of my entries for your first contest #ESO50Years #GoParanal from 2012 I wrote that I want to inspire my little one and to show him the beauty of our world and our universe and I am happy that -so far- we had many great chances doing so and I am looking forward to the future.
Sometimes I am wondering, how this German gal here with no professional scientific background at all did become a certified #AsteroidHunterRookie and #MeteoriteHunterRookie, live tweeted from @CERN‘s #LHC and -together with my family attended many space / science events by ESA and NASA TEDx and SpaceUp conferences traveling around our marble,...
... Organizing small space gatherings and sharing my art work and little mementos of our adventures specially designed for many of those events with all attendees AND speakers became a fond tradition in the past 7 years.
And having seen many astronauts, from Mercury and Apollo who flew to and walked on the moon to today’s inhabitants of the #ISS, astronomers, scientists, and our growing #SpaceFamily wearing my badges and lanyards and having them sign our Thank You posters always makes me smile.
And having become a member of the #IAAA (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ASTRONOMICAL ARTISTS iaaa.org), with my artwork being auctioned off by Apollo astronauts and a painting which will be exhibited under #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis on 21.12.2018 during the #Apollo8 #Earthrise celebration also marking the launch of project #Constellation created by Nicole Passonno Stott, Ron Garan, Anousheh Ansari and Leland Melvin AT Kennedy Space Center in Florida will forever be surreal.
As THIS is the place where I finally fell in love with everything around #Space during watching my 1st of 3 #SpaceShuttle launches of #STS115 back in 2006.
AND from where I sent my very first tweet EVER on July 8th 2011, while watching the final launch of #Shuttle #Atlantis together with @LightspeedLeo on the day he turned 9 months old. What a birthday candle that was.
#OneSmallStepForHumankindOneGiantLeapForMe
I LOVE it, when things come to full circles ;-)
simonkregar.com/constellationearthrise
I am so looking forward to the day when our now 8 year old son will understand, whom he met since being a toddler and to which places we were invited.
So I want to thank all of you around @ESO for inviting the public to #ReachingBeyondTheStars -literally and figuratively and for doing what you do.
You all make a difference.
And knowing that OUR story is only one of many inspired by your work is amazing.
#SharedMemoriesAreTheBest

I was asked whether I could design the logo for the oncoming @SpaceUpUK.
* 5-6th July 2014, London *
So here is the timeline of my brainstorming and design process, also showing a collection of existing SpaceUp logos as well as some elements and symbols representing the United Kingdom and #Space.
I introduced my ideas and suggestions to several #SpaceTweeps friends around a visit inside Stonehenge and together we chose the following elements for the final design:
* The Union Jack, which I designed in form of a compass rose to reflect the United Kingdom and Greenwich - "the centre of space and time"
* the London Eye - eye to the world - each of its capsules reflecting #SpaceTweeps from all around the world being closely connected and circling around a central element: their shared love of space
* a telescope - observing how a comet illuminates the #SpaceUp (UP) idea and the United Kingdom (UK)
* several stars and two special constellations:
1) LEO - LION
reflecting the coat of arms of the UK
as well as #LowEarthOrbit ,
the home of #ISS and currently of all people, who are spending time away from earth, enjoying a truly special view of our #BlueDot from space.
Constellation LEO also was already part of our first design idea for badges for the very 1st European #SpaceTweetup ever at DLR / European Astronaut Center (EAC) in Cologne in September 2011 ( www.esa.int/esatv/Videos/2011/09/First_European_SpaceTweetup ) - based on the name of our son #BabySpaceTweep @LightspeedLeo, the youngest "official" participant there ;-)
Since then this element has been part of many of my designs.
The 1st European #SpaceTweetup event brought together a group of #Spaceholix from all over the world and ignited the spark of the European space movement. Since 2011 its participants grew together to a constantly increasing #SpaceFamily, sharing unforgettable events at impressive places.
And yes, there the people bringing the #SpaceUp idea from the US to Europe met and my husband Eico and his fellow-organizers did an awesome job in 2012 and we love to see how the #SpaceUp movement is spreading since @SpaceUpEU took place in Genk/ Belgium and hence I integrated that special connection in my new design.
2) DRACO - DRAGON
reflecting the Welsh dragon
as well as the partially reusable spacecraft developed by @SpaceX, which has docked to #ISS already several times and will deliver cargo regularly and which is up to even more amazing steps.
And - like LEO - a certain DRAGON has special connections to the 1st European #SpaceTweetup as well.
Leo's travelbuddy AKA @PinkLilDragon met its @NASA friend @CamillaSpace again - after their first contact at @SpaceX in Florida during our visit of the original DRAGON capsule a day before we witnessed the launch of #STS135.
Since then these two #SpaceMascots have shared some awesome adventures in many countries.
@PinkLilDragon has shared the stage with moonwalkers, has met more than 100 astronauts, watched rocket launches in Florida and will do so even Baikonur, he was invited to visit the #LHC @CERN and the inner circle of #Stonehenge and thus also has had recurring occurences on different badges as well ;-)
And every single star is also reflecting all the #SpaceTweeps,
who are helping with their ideas, inspiration, support and hard work to make @SpaceUpUK an unforgettable experience for all participants soon.
BTW: This logo is also closely connected to my design, which I created for ESA's competition to name the expedition of Tim Peake in 2015.

My husband and I were so lucky to meet Tim and all the other #Shenanigans already in 2009 shortly after their assignments to fly to #ISS half a decade later during our first visit of #TdLR2009.
Hard to imagine there was a time before @twitter and Facebook...

from yours @Spaceholix
with our travelbuddies,
the #SpaceMascots
@PinkLilDragon & houseguest @CamillaSpace
Thank YOU for being such a vital part of #TheCreationOfSpaceInspiration - not only for our family!
By discovering @ESO on social media back in 2012 during your #ESO50Years contest
YOU -amongst other space and science agencies- daily increased my curiosity and my wish to learn more about things out of my everyday business,
to explore and try things well outside my comfort zone and to #DareMightyThings.
One small step led to another and by nurturing that seed in me, an amazing journey gained speed for the three of us.
Thanks to the #MagicPowerOfSocialMedia,
my family and I explored some the most amazing places, met some the most inspiring people ever since, connected with people from all walks of life and from all around our beautiful #BlueDot sharing our passion for #Space and #Science - turning into an ever growing #SpaceFamily.
Thus YOU helped to enrich our lives with numerous unforgettable and often #ForrestGumpLikeMemories.
In a few of my entries for your first contest #ESO50Years #GoParanal from 2012 I wrote that I want to inspire my little one and to show him the beauty of our world and our universe and I am happy that -so far- we had many great chances doing so and I am looking forward to the future.
Sometimes I am wondering, how this German gal here with no professional scientific background at all did become a certified #AsteroidHunterRookie and #MeteoriteHunterRookie, live tweeted from @CERN‘s #LHC and -together with my family attended many space / science events by ESA and NASA TEDx and SpaceUp conferences traveling around our marble,...
... Organizing small space gatherings and sharing my art work and little mementos of our adventures specially designed for many of those events with all attendees AND speakers became a fond tradition in the past 7 years.
And having seen many astronauts, from Mercury and Apollo who flew to and walked on the moon to today’s inhabitants of the #ISS, astronomers, scientists, and our growing #SpaceFamily wearing my badges and lanyards and having them sign our Thank You posters always makes me smile.
And having become a member of the #IAAA (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ASTRONOMICAL ARTISTS iaaa.org), with my artwork being auctioned off by Apollo astronauts and a painting which will be exhibited under #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis on 21.12.2018 during the #Apollo8 #Earthrise celebration also marking the launch of project #Constellation created by Nicole Passonno Stott, Ron Garan, Anousheh Ansari and Leland Melvin AT Kennedy Space Center in Florida will forever be surreal.
As THIS is the place where I finally fell in love with everything around #Space during watching my 1st of 3 #SpaceShuttle launches of #STS115 back in 2006.
AND from where I sent my very first tweet EVER on July 8th 2011, while watching the final launch of #Shuttle #Atlantis together with @LightspeedLeo on the day he turned 9 months old. What a birthday candle that was.
#OneSmallStepForHumankindOneGiantLeapForMe
I LOVE it, when things come to full circles ;-)

I am so looking forward to the day when our now 8 year old son will understand, whom he met since being a toddler and to which places we were invited.
So I want to thank all of you around @ESO for inviting the public to #ReachingBeyondTheStars -literally and figuratively and for doing what you do.
You all make a difference.
And knowing that OUR story is only one of many inspired by your work is amazing.

AND from where I sent my very first tweet EVER on July 8th 2011, while watching the final launch of #Shuttle #Atlantis together with @LightspeedLeo on the day he turned 9 months old. What a birthday candle that was.

I am so looking forward to the day when our now 8 year old son will understand, whom he met since being a toddler and to which places we were invited.
So I want to thank all of you around @ESO for inviting the public to #ReachingBeyondTheStars -literally and figuratively and for doing what you do.
You all make a difference.
And knowing that OUR story is only one of many inspired by your work is amazing.

from yours @Spaceholix
with our travelbuddies,
the #SpaceMascots
@PinkLilDragon & houseguest @CamillaSpace
Thank YOU for being such a vital part of #TheCreationOfSpaceInspiration - not only for our family!
By discovering @ESO on social media back in 2012 during your #ESO50Years contest
YOU -amongst other space and science agencies- daily increased my curiosity and my wish to learn more about things out of my everyday business,
to explore and try things well outside my comfort zone and to #DareMightyThings.
One small step led to another and by nurturing that seed in me, an amazing journey gained speed for the three of us.
Thanks to the #MagicPowerOfSocialMedia,
my family and I explored some the most amazing places, met some the most inspiring people ever since, connected with people from all walks of life and from all around our beautiful #BlueDot sharing our passion for #Space and #Science - turning into an ever growing #SpaceFamily.
Thus YOU helped to enrich our lives with numerous unforgettable and often #ForrestGumpLikeMemories.
In a few of my entries for your first contest #ESO50Years #GoParanal from 2012 I wrote that I want to inspire my little one and to show him the beauty of our world and our universe and I am happy that -so far- we had many great chances doing so and I am looking forward to the future.
Sometimes I am wondering, how this German gal here with no professional scientific background at all did become a certified #AsteroidHunterRookie and #MeteoriteHunterRookie, live tweeted from @CERN‘s #LHC and -together with my family attended many space / science events by ESA and NASA TEDx and SpaceUp conferences traveling around our marble,...
... Organizing small space gatherings and sharing my art work and little mementos of our adventures specially designed for many of those events with all attendees AND speakers became a fond tradition in the past 7 years.
And having seen many astronauts, from Mercury and Apollo who flew to and walked on the moon to today’s inhabitants of the #ISS, astronomers, scientists, and our growing #SpaceFamily wearing my badges and lanyards and having them sign our Thank You posters always makes me smile.
And having become a member of the #IAAA (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ASTRONOMICAL ARTISTS iaaa.org), with my artwork being auctioned off by Apollo astronauts and a painting which will be exhibited under #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis on 21.12.2018 during the #Apollo8 #Earthrise celebration also marking the launch of project #Constellation created by Nicole Passonno Stott, Ron Garan, Anousheh Ansari and Leland Melvin AT Kennedy Space Center in Florida will forever be surreal.

After painting special badges for several space & science #Tweetups & events in 2013 After painting special badges for several space and science #Tweetups and events in 2013
( www.flickr.com/photos/82679917@N04/collections/7215763548... )
I was asked whether I could design the logo for the oncoming @SpaceUpUK.
* 5-6th July 2014, London *
So here is the timeline of my brainstorming and design process, also showing a collection of existing SpaceUp logos as well as some elements and symbols representing the United Kingdom and #Space.
I introduced my ideas and suggestions to several #SpaceTweeps friends around a visit inside Stonehenge and together we chose the following elements for the final design:
* The Union Jack, which I designed in form of a compass rose to reflect the United Kingdom and Greenwich - "the centre of space and time"
* the London Eye - eye to the world - each of its capsules reflecting #SpaceTweeps from all around the world being closely connected and circling around a central element: their shared love of space
* a telescope - observing how a comet illuminates the #SpaceUp (UP) idea and the United Kingdom (UK)
* several stars and two special constellations:
1) LEO - LION
reflecting the coat of arms of the UK
as well as #LowEarthOrbit ,
the home of #ISS and currently of all people, who are spending time away from earth, enjoying a truly special view of our #BlueDot from space.
Constellation LEO also was already part of our first design idea for badges for the very 1st European #SpaceTweetup ever at DLR / European Astronaut Center (EAC) in Cologne in September 2011 ( www.esa.int/esatv/Videos/2011/09/First_European_SpaceTweetup ) - based on the name of our son #BabySpaceTweep @LightspeedLeo, the youngest "official" participant there ;-)
Since then this element has been part of many of my designs.
The 1st European #SpaceTweetup event brought together a group of #Spaceholix from all over the world and ignited the spark of the European space movement. Since 2011 its participants grew together to a constantly increasing #SpaceFamily, sharing unforgettable events at impressive places.
And yes, there the people bringing the #SpaceUp idea from the US to Europe met and my husband Eico and his fellow-organizers did an awesome job in 2012 and we love to see how the #SpaceUp movement is spreading since @SpaceUpEU took place in Genk/ Belgium and hence I integrated that special connection in my new design.
2) DRACO - DRAGON
reflecting the Welsh dragon
as well as the partially reusable spacecraft developed by @SpaceX, which has docked to #ISS already several times and will deliver cargo regularly and which is up to even more amazing steps.
And - like LEO - a certain DRAGON has special connections to the 1st European #SpaceTweetup as well.
Leo's travelbuddy AKA @PinkLilDragon met its @NASA friend @CamillaSpace again - after their first contact at @SpaceX in Florida during our visit of the original DRAGON capsule a day before we witnessed the launch of #STS135.
Since then these two #SpaceMascots have shared some awesome adventures in many countries.
@PinkLilDragon has shared the stage with moonwalkers, has met more than 100 astronauts, watched rocket launches in Florida and will do so even Baikonur, he was invited to visit the #LHC @CERN and the inner circle of #Stonehenge and thus also has had recurring occurences on different badges as well ;-)
And every single star is also reflecting all the #SpaceTweeps,
who are helping with their ideas, inspiration, support and hard work to make @SpaceUpUK an unforgettable experience for all participants soon.
BTW: This logo is also closely connected to my design, which I created for ESA's competition to name the expedition of Tim Peake in 2015.
www.flickr.com/photos/spaceholix/albums/72157643394229735
My husband and I were so lucky to meet Tim and all the other #Shenanigans already in 2009 shortly after their assignments to fly to #ISS half a decade later during our first visit of #TdLR2009.
Hard to imagine there was a time before @twitter and Facebook...
SPOILER ALERT: I heard if everything goes well, Tim might be joining #SpaceUpUK virtually.
ENJOY - I can't wait to see all your pics and posts soon ;-)

Happy 50th anniversary La Silla Observatory
from yours @Spaceholix
with our travelbuddies,
the #SpaceMascots
@PinkLilDragon & houseguest @CamillaSpace
Thank YOU for being such a vital part of #TheCreationOfSpaceInspiration - not only for our family!
By discovering @ESO on social media back in 2012 during your #ESO50Years contest
YOU -amongst other space and science agencies- daily increased my curiosity and my wish to learn more about things out of my everyday business,
to explore and try things well outside my comfort zone and to #DareMightyThings.
One small step led to another and by nurturing that seed in me, an amazing journey gained speed for the three of us.
Thanks to the #MagicPowerOfSocialMedia,
my family and I explored some the most amazing places, met some the most inspiring people ever since, connected with people from all walks of life and from all around our beautiful #BlueDot sharing our passion for #Space and #Science - turning into an ever growing #SpaceFamily.
Thus YOU helped to enrich our lives with numerous unforgettable and often #ForrestGumpLikeMemories.
In a few of my entries for your first contest #ESO50Years #GoParanal from 2012 I wrote that I want to inspire my little one and to show him the beauty of our world and our universe and I am happy that -so far- we had many great chances doing so and I am looking forward to the future.
Sometimes I am wondering, how this German gal here with no professional scientific background at all did become a certified #AsteroidHunterRookie and #MeteoriteHunterRookie, live tweeted from @CERN‘s #LHC and -together with my family attended many space / science events by ESA and NASA TEDx and SpaceUp conferences traveling around our marble,...
... Organizing small space gatherings and sharing my art work and little mementos of our adventures specially designed for many of those events with all attendees AND speakers became a fond tradition in the past 7 years.
And having seen many astronauts, from Mercury and Apollo who flew to and walked on the moon to today’s inhabitants of the #ISS, astronomers, scientists, and our growing #SpaceFamily wearing my badges and lanyards and having them sign our Thank You posters always makes me smile.
And having become a member of the #IAAA (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ASTRONOMICAL ARTISTS iaaa.org), with my artwork being auctioned off by Apollo astronauts and a painting which will be exhibited under #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis on 21.12.2018 during the #Apollo8 #Earthrise celebration also marking the launch of project #Constellation created by Nicole Passonno Stott, Ron Garan, Anousheh Ansari and Leland Melvin AT Kennedy Space Center in Florida will forever be surreal.
As THIS is the place where I finally fell in love with everything around #Space during watching my 1st of 3 #SpaceShuttle launches of #STS115 back in 2006.
AND from where I sent my very first tweet EVER on July 8th 2011, while watching the final launch of #Shuttle #Atlantis together with @LightspeedLeo on the day he turned 9 months old. What a birthday candle that was.
#OneSmallStepForHumankindOneGiantLeapForMe
I LOVE it, when things come to full circles ;-)

I am so looking forward to the day when our now 8 year old son will understand, whom he met since being a toddler and to which places we were invited.
So I want to thank all of you around @ESO for inviting the public to #ReachingBeyondTheStars -literally and figuratively and for doing what you do.
You all make a difference.
And knowing that OUR story is only one of many inspired by your work is amazing.
