Imagine a honeymoon suite on the moon. Zero gravity. Wow! Big globs of wine floating around for one to insert a straw into. We ought to tell the whales who use their foreheads to make those Tiger stripes.

The colours are certainly nice in the photograph. Being called a pansy is actually a compliment, as Pansies are nice flowers.
If someone is calling someone a Pansy as an insult, the insulter is not a nice person. Niceness is nice.

Re: The descent into Utah (APOD 2009 July 5)
'Genesis'? Instead of promoting knowledge of outer space with athe APOD website, Is NASA's mission secretly the conversion of heathen populations to belief in Judaeo/Christian/Muslim scriptures? I can't say the world doesn't need more genuine belief in the Almighty.
