does sedna actually change into her labcoat whenever she’s about to do science or does it just spontaneously appear on her when she does something ethically dubious?
Webcomics featuring sedna
bunny training
honestly, after everything sedna’s made yuri do so far, memorising the tsiolkovsky rocket equation seems like a walk in the park.
who is yuri?
subtle throwback to comic #11. it’s almost like i’m a genius and planned this all along (i didn’t).
maybe the reason sedna is always wearing the same hoodie is that it was the only one she could find with a matching miniature version.
assistant
poor yuri. too loyal for her own good. lucky she has some impressive english vocabulary and upper body strength for a bunny.
funny story: when i drew this comic i looked up reference images for cordless drills, and i’m still getting stupid cordless drill ads months later. seriously google, please leave me alone.
rocket-eating tree

another day, another illustration that took me way longer than it should have because i have no idea what i’m doing. this time starring my tribute to the primary antagonist and undisputed best character of the peanuts universe, the kite-eating tree.
and good grief! is that yuri? classic sedna readers rejoice, the bun is back! and with a slight redesign (because let’s be honest, she looked pretty terrible in classic sedna). expect to see more yuri in the next few comics.
late

star stuff
i’m just gonna drop the whole quote here before y’all accuse me of plagiarism.
“some part of our being knows this is where we came from. we long to return. and we can, because the cosmos is also within us. we’re made of star stuff. we are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” – carl sagan (super smart science man)
new star
calling a star exploding a “new” star and the birth of the universe “the big bang” is classic example of scientists naming things.
i’m sure you all learned at school that dinosaur means “terrible lizard”, despite them being neither. even worse is iguanadon, which means “iguana’s tooth”, because that’s what its discoverer thought he was looking at.
on the other hand there’s colymbosathon ecplecticos, which translates to “astounding swimmer with a large penis”. which is without a doubt the best dinosaur name. good job scientists!
energy of a supernova
hope i did the maths right here (thank god for wolfram alpha). i love ridiculous scale comparisons for supernovae, but there’s no beating the classic one by randall munroe (the xkcd guy):
“which of the following would be brighter:
a supernova, seen from as far away as the sun is from the earth, or
the detonation of a hydrogen bomb pressed against your eyeball?”
now i’m just waiting for some smartarse in the comments to point out that if you actually did magic a ball of tnt that large into existence it would just collapse under the weight of its own gravity and explode as a supernova anyway. shut up, it’s a thought exercise. don’t be that guy.
death of a star
obviously this is a much more complex and interesting subject than i could possibly squeeze into a four panel comic, so i highly recommend you go watch the episode of ‘crash course astronomy’ on youtube about high mass stars.
also in case you thought i made a mistake with the timeline, no, a smaller star actually lasts much much longer than a larger star, as it’s much cooler and thus burns its fuel slower. while the largest stars we know of (hypergiants) last only millions of years, the smallest stars (red dwarfs) can last for trillions of years. seriously. trillions with a t.
i’ll probably do a comic about this some day, so i should shut up now before i spoil it.
