And hence, Science!

And now there’s so much spill-over from “baby cute” gene that humans see literally any “baby” creature that even slightly resembles us, like

and we’re like 😍🥰🤩🥺🥺🥺 I wanna love you so bad. I wanna make so many images of you, you are so small, just baby. I’m inventing new emotions as we speak bc I love you so much.

Actually hatebros, “survival of the fittest” means you have to make as many friends as possible in one lifetime. Naruto understands Darwinism better than you.

The world's tallest mountain is mauna kea, it's almost 4000 feet taller than everest if you measure from base to top, most of it is underwater though

The world's closest mountain to the stars is mount Chimborazo, it is both shorter and less high than the other two, but it is closer to the equator, so the bulge of earth makes it ever so slightly farther from the center, so it is closer to the stars

The shape of a fish's caudal tail can tell you a lot about how fast the fish moves! A rounded tail is the slowest and a lunate tail is the fastest! The lunate tail has the most optimal ratio of high thrust and low draw, making it the fastest.

Happy Wednesday!

Obviously meant to use change in barometric pressure with altitude. But one student submitted the following:

There are several ways of doing this

1. On a sunny day, stand the barometer up in the sun, measure the length of its shadow relative to its height, then measure the length of the building’s shadow and calculate its height from that.

2. Go into the stairwell and climb the stairs to the top, marking off the length of the barometer on the wall, giving you the height of the building in “barometer units”.

3. Go onto the roof of the building and drop the barometer off the top and time how long it takes to hit the ground, then calculate the height using the well known formula of 32 ft./sec./sec.

Hello my Stellar Supporters,

I hope this message finds you well, or at least, stargazing into the heavens with hope and curiosity. It's been a while since we last touched base, and I want to address this prolonged silence.

Over the last few months, my journey has taken a detour through a darker part of the cosmos. I've been grappling with depression, which has created a cloud of cosmic dust that's made it difficult to see the stars, let alone draw them. My mental health has always been a nebulous territory, and the gravitational pull got a bit stronger after I was laid off in November 2022. This event was like a supernova explosion, adding more confusion and gloom to my personal galaxy.

However, just as the Universe never ceases its inexorable expansion, I've been taking steps towards recovery, navigating my way out of this nebula. It's been a slow, incremental journey, but I've decided to redirect this energy into a new mission: a return to the academic world.

Yes, you've read that right. I've embarked on a course to acquire my Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design and Media Arts, with a specific focus on Web Design. This decision, which has the weight of a pulsar, came from a profound realization: to reignite my passion for exploring and creating, I needed a new kind of star map, one drawn from the insights and challenges of academic pursuit.

So, what does this mean for our beloved cosmic ship, Cosmic Funnies?

Our shared adventure into the realm of humor and cosmic wonders is evolving! Like a nebula birthing a star, Cosmic Funnies is transforming into an exciting new entity: an educational platform dedicated to space and the wonders it holds.

But don't worry! Just like dark matter binds galaxies together, humor and fun will still be the heart of Cosmic Funnies. Our beloved webcomics will be more integrated and central than ever as a part of the educational content. This decision, an outcome of my UI UX Design class, aims to combine learning and laughter in the best possible way.

In this new universe of Cosmic Funnies, students, educators, and space enthusiasts can gather to explore, laugh, and learn. Together, we will make learning about space a truly immersive and enjoyable experience.

For all you cosmic shoppers, our online store will continue to operate but will set up its own celestial body, separate from the main site. The primary mission of Cosmic Funnies will always be to educate, inspire, and bring a smile to your face with the beauty and mystery of our universe.

Navigating through uncharted galaxies can be intimidating. But armed with optimism and your support, I am excited about this new chapter of Cosmic Funnies. As we prepare for this new journey, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your unwavering support during this challenging time. Your patience and understanding have been like constellations guiding me through the dark.

Please keep your spacesuits ready and your minds open for the knowledge that is to come. Until then, remember to always look up, for the universe is full of Cosmic Funnies waiting to be discovered!

In the cosmos,

Jackie

Better late than never!

It’s totally solar month!

Time to start it off with a comic on our favorite starry friend, The Sun!
