betelgeuse

looks like astronomy’s back on the menu boys! ’bout time too. we’ve barely even seen sedna bust out the telescope since the first 9 comics. seriously, this is supposed to be a space comic! get your act together tom!

poor betelgeuse. people can’t talk about astronomy for 5 minutes without mentioning their desire to see this particular star violently commit suicide within their lifetimes. last year when betelgeuse dimmed significantly millions of people were chanting excitedly for this guy to hurry up and die (turned out it was just a gas cloud passing in front of it).

awfully rude. honestly.

meteor

you probably learned in primary school that it’s a “meteoroid” when it’s in space, “meteor” when it’s falling down to earth, and “meteorite” when it’s splattered itself across your backyard.

personally i think we should change these three terms to “space rock”, “firey space rock”, and “ex-space rock” for clarity’s sake.

fun fact: if you catch a train of starlink satellites just after launch, you’ll be granted 60 wishes at the same time!

some of you clever lot might recognize this as one of the classic sedna comics. but before you accuse me of self-plagiarism or running out of ideas, i actually had a sequel comic to this planned that i never ended up drawing for classic sedna, so i had to bring this one back for context. plus, i just really wanted to see this one drawn properly. can you blame me?

pity they don’t teach rocketry in primary school. would’ve made maths class just a tad more interesting.

far side of the moon

people call it the ‘dark side of the moon’, but because it has almost no maria it’s technically brighter than the near side.

pink floyd lied to us all.

i love that nasa spent $25 billion putting man on the moon, only to spend $5.50 on the flag, which they instantly knocked over when the lander took off
