Added 1 new A* page:Well I think I'm going to go ahead and draw a second page tonight instead of working on storyboards for further ahead in the episode, because it's Monday and I've been to the dentist and pages are less brain-killing than storyboards. But I'm not going to put it up whenever I finish it this evening, because I kind of like the look of page 4 here, and anyway we haven't had a nice smiling picture of Selenis in a while. :P But that should mean two new pages tomorrow, so yay.
Here's a video I forgot to drop on you on Friday! It is the best video I have seen of Moby in a space suit.

It also actually refers to some very fundamental astrophysics science, since all elements heavier than hydrogen and helium are thought to have formed, by and large, in the nuclear furnaces of stars. So good work there, Moby! And here's a fun helium factoid I just noticed: according to Wikipedia, the superconducting magnets that guide supercharged particles around the Large Hadron Collider (the big particle accelerator at CERN on the border of France and Switzerland; a hadron is a particle made of quarks, of which there are two flavors: baryons, made of three quarks, and including things like protons and neutrons, and things with funnier names like "charmed double bottom Omega" (oh dear), and mesons, composed of a quark and antiquark, and having names like Pion, Kaon, and "strange D meson") are cooled to 1.9 Kelvin (that's −271.25 °C) by 96 metric tons of liquid helium, making CERN the largest cryogenic facility in the world at that low temperature. That's a lot of squeaky voices if it boils!
And actually, that liquid helium coolant made the news in 2008, shortly after the LHC came online to much fanfare, because a malfunction in some of the huge magnets that guide the particles around the collider track led to a rupture that spilled six tons of it into the tunnel around the accelerator. (The big problem though was that the magnets were damaged and took a while to fix.)
