  More free planetsAug 10, 2023 7:06 PM PDT | url
 
From The NY Times: Astronomers estimating from microlensing events have calculated that there are six times more planets free-floating in space "than orbiting their own suns," and that "there are about 20 times more free-floating worlds in our Milky Way than stars, with Earth-mass planets 180 times more common than rogue Jupiters"—which is because "planets can be kicked out of their star systems only by larger objects."

From "Music to Scream By" in Tales to Astonish #47, September 1963. Stan Lee plot, Ernie Hart script, Don Heck pencils & inks, Sam Rosen letters.

Got myself behind and tired and migrainey again. Working on getting used to staying in bed for 8 hours—so out of practice it's hard to lay still that long. Sheesh.
 
So haven't managed any drawing in the latter half of this week but I did tidy up a few things around the site, including consolidating my social media down to, well, Tumblr, because that's the one I like. : ) I post all kinds of silly art and game and comic and space stuff there.
