You’re gonna incur the wrath of the IAU in determining whether that’s a planet, dwarf planet, or asteroid
One mouse, and you missed the opportunity to double down on a joke and have the noise be ‘boink’
I have the mouse count as: 0-2-0-0-0-1
Where’s the second mouse in panel 2?
One at the foot of the stanchion, one behind the food synth.
“That’s good question” -> “That’s a good question”
The discoverers decided to call it a planet and name it as a joke on anyone who would come across it and think they can’t see it because it’s very far away and coming very fast, like Sir Lancelot running toward Swamp Castle.
If that’s a planet, then Pluto has got to be one again!
Anyway I hope the ship didn’t crash on a rose under a cloche.
Maybe it shrinks on approach?
maybe it’s not a planet or asteroid but instead a mycelium-based space couch for tired intergalactic ships?
It’s spherical, which shows either a) extreme fluke, b) it’s artificial, c) it’s extremely dense so has enough mass to become spherical naturally by gravity.
Seems to be a free planet, unbounded by any star, cold as absolute zero and utterly alone in the universe. Except that it seems to have already been mapped and named, if not properly defined as to size in the database.
Oddly enough, my role-playing group, the Thursday Night Traveller and General Weirdness Society, has as its logo a ship crashed into an asteroid not that much bigger than it. Out of the collision is a word balloon: “damn!” It’s deliberately ambiguous whether that word comes from the ship or the asteroid.
I have to wonder what Boukinar is thinking about the collision right now.
My mind just went off on a tangent picturing a whole series of tiny objects such as Boukinar. The first would be named A planet. The next would be Be Planet followed by See? Planet.
Ok, I’ll go sit back down in the corner again.
I bet See Planet is detectable by Eye Planet, but that neither is as wondrous as Gee! Planet.
Why Planet remains unexplored. Nobody knows Why.
Perhaps the GOBAU has a different classification system than does the IAU here on Earth.
In either event, I highly doubt Boukinar or Pluto care, or even know, whether they’re classed as planet, or that they’re called (by others) Boukinar or Pluto.
For a while, I thought you were naming the planetoid after the “Baikonur Cosmodrome” in Russia.
Maybe Dimitri did.
Where’s Ruddock?
