Cogito Ergo Sum (I Think, Therefore I Am)

I tend to overthink things. For instance, I made about a dozen drafts of this comic before settling on the final words and drawings. I think the next thing I make will be easier, but I’m probably mistaken. 

For more comics about the joys and frustrations of creative thinking, check out my book, The Shape of Ideas: An Illustrated Exploration of Creativity, published by Abrams ComicArts:

Who on Earth could ever turn this owl away?

Science answers the easy questions.

Navigating Space by the Stars

A sextant is a tool for measuring the angular altitude of a star above the horizon and has helped guide sailors across oceans for centuries. It is now being tested aboard the International Space Station as a potential emergency navigation tool for guiding future spacecraft across the cosmos. The Sextant Navigation investigation will test the use of a hand-held sextant that utilizes star sighting in microgravity.

MEET OUMUAMUA, THE FIRST INTERSTELLAR ASTEROID 

The whole story is fascinating but these bits caught our attention:

Pronounced “Oh-moo-ah-moo-ah,” it means “a messenger from afar arriving first.”

Observations of the wildly-varying light from ‘Oumuamua showed scientists it wasn’t spherical, but probably had a cigar shape measuring 800 meters by 80 meters by 80 meters—that’s something almost as tall as the Statue of Liberty, but half a mile long. It’s red, and likely made from metal and carbon-rich matter like some comets.

There are many unknown things in our galaxy, and some of them are zooming at us at incredible speeds.

It’s so beautiful. It’s so beautiful it makes me want to cry. It’s the fulfillment of dozens, hundreds, thousands of people’s efforts, but it’s also the fulfillment of an idea suddenly becoming real.
