Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for November 17, 2013

What? No insipid remark by Brewster?

Quick…where’s my white Nikes & tinfoil helmet?!

The Hale-Bopp comet was spectacular! It was just right there. You didn’t have to look for it. It was just right there, as big as life. For weeks…..This one does have great potential, if it makes it around the sun….Hey, maybe we’ll get two comets as it comes around the sun…..Keep your fingers crossed…

Why do they always have to be on the horizon where I can’t find them?

I love this strip, entertaining and educational.

In space, “The Final Frontier”? Oh, I keep forgetting, this is Brewster we’re talking about!

I’ve been outside at 5am with binocs, to see ISON, three mornings in a row now.Completely overcast. Three mornings in a row now. Doh!

I think Doc ISON something!

Anyone else remember “Our New Age,” a comic strip about science that ran on Sunday during, I think, the 1960s? It was straight science, no stories or anything. I followed it, and my science teachers would sometimes post it on their classroom bulletin boards. I liked it, though, occassionally, it would deal with things like if the Van Allen belt got out of control, or mutations, and it could be pretty scary.

Comets are close to the horizon when they’re near the sun. After the sun rises, it’s impossible to see them. They are visible higher in the sky on their way in and out of the solar system.Having said that, I was very disappointed that I never did see Haley, even when I was in the Keys.

Being in a coma is even worse than I thought.
