You can always count on her!

Mooks. It just reeks Amelia!

And here come the cops.

But we still have not landed a “Mercury Discoverer” to expand our information during the very short period a surface probe would survive.

Get those kids a telescope!

Have i ever mentioned that i kinda like her? :D

This strip needs a science director.

Fireworks make everything better. Even boring office meetings.

Is “mooks” still a thing?

Two spacecraft have visited Mercury: Mariner 10 flew by in 1974 and 1975; and MESSENGER, launched in 2004, orbited Mercury over 4,000 times in four years before exhausting its fuel and crashing into the planet’s surface on April 30, 2015. The BepiColombo spacecraft is planned to arrive at Mercury in 2025.

Actually, Mercury is the closest planet to the earth more than any other. Surprising, yes — for more info see this “More or Less” episode on the BBC. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0001y9p What % of time is Mercury the closest planet to Earth? 46%. Venus: 36% Mars: 18%

And, in Whoville they say, Amelia’s small character grew three sizes that day.
