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.

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

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
