Cheers, Keplar

"Natasha has just come up to the window from the courtyard and opened it wider so that the air may enter more freely into my room. I can see the bright green strip of grass beneath the wall, and the clear blue sky above the wall, and sunlight everywhere. Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full."

Since I guess you are talking about the new space telescope, it's called Kepler telescope reffering to the German astronomer Johannes Kepler.

Who asks me inappropiate questions also has to live with the answers I may give.
One of my private mottos comes from Kepler's lips - "Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her midwife."
It springs to mind especially when being accused of ignorance by an ignoramus (common enough when arguing with delusionally superstitious people).
I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
