Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for October 17, 2024

Stay right where you are, create two full moons and the werewolves will have a field day.

He looks like a raisin!!!

You need to work on your accretion, kiddo.

“And everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.”

If he manages to stick around (I know, he won’t), some song lyrics might be reworded. Such as… “When the moon hits your eye, Like a personal pizza pie…”

Sounds loony

You wanna do what? Nopes. Nopes. Nopes. You gotta be this big to do that kid.

A Pink Floyd reference!

Has anyone been watching the comet? C/2023 A3 has been making an appearance this week right after the sun goes down. I’ve seen at least 4 comets in my lifetime and this one is the most spectacular. Got a couple of great photos.

Just ask David Gilmour.

He’d better find a tiny sun for his eclipse aspirations. Finding another planet that has denizens with the propensity to turn into werewolves during a full moon may be a chore, too.

And in one so young.

Anyone know what PT5 stands for? It’s a pretty cute little moon! Also, love the punchline today. haha!

There is no dark side. Its ALL dark!

The comic is making this out to be the ’moon’s moon’ but if you look it up, it’s just passing by, not orbiting anything but the sun

Okay, not so cute now.

And I figured it just wanted to moon us.

The moon doesn’t have a dark side any more than the earth does.

Come to the dark side. We have bassoons.

Will he have cookies?

Rickard is almost always accurate in his scientific humor qua astronomy lessons — but here he errs! No moon, including our own, has a “dark” side!
