#3072: Stargazing 4

[The background is black, Megan is in front of three others, Cueball and Ponytail to the left, and White Hat to the right. Megan is drawn in white while the background characters are in grey.]

Megan: Welcome back to Stargazing.

Megan: According to some incredibly rude Yelp reviews, I'm "not informative" and "can't possibly be an astronomer" and "just kind of say words as they occur to me."

Megan: I guess some losers just hate cool space facts!

[The sky is white, the floor is black, Megan is pointing at the sky. The background zoomed out, Hairy-like and Danish-like figures are seen standing further beyond Cueball and Ponytail on the left, White Hat has Hairbun to his right. All of the background characters are drawn as solid black silhouettes against the sky.]

Megan: Anyway, that dot is a "star."

Megan: There are over 20 stars in the sky, and some of them are more than 100 years old.

[The background is black again, the panel zooms in on Megan's face.]

Megan: Our galaxy is huge.

Megan: You know the beach? That big wet sandbox?

Megan: Well, there are more grains of sand in the Milky Way than in all Earth's beaches combined.

Off-panel voice to the left: Wow.

Off-panel voice to the right: ...Wait.

[The background is still in black, Megan is in front of others and has her finger raised, Ponytail is left of Megan, White Hat and Hairbun on the right. Megan is again drawn in white while the background characters are in grey.]

Megan: The galaxy has a black hole at the center.

Megan: Sometimes stars fall in, which is hilarious.

Megan: Don't worry, it's okay to laugh. The gravity prevents signals from escaping, so they can't leave Yelp reviews.
