Cosmic Driftwood

My latest comic for The Nib was another collaboration with physicist and science writer Matthew Francis. Together we took a look at the strange visitor that zipped it’s way through our solar system in October, 2017: ʻOumuamua.

It’s been a while since I’ve done any astronomy comics, so I relished the opportunity to draw a lot of cool space stuff. A lot of these were new territory for me, and I love how they turned out. I’ve included some panels sans text for you all to enjoy.

A nascent solar system with planetesimals starting to carve out their orbits in the stellar dust.

A quote from planetary scientist Michele Bannister. Note that there isn't any actual driftwood in outer space... that we know about.
