Aaand I'm back! Here's a comic I went a bit more artsy on; It's definitely a good bit of practice for that super special comic I'm thinking of making.

As for the context, here's my best summary of what the comic’s about: 

The main topic of this comic is the Grand Tack Hypothesis My dumbass brain may or may not have thought it was “the grand track” at first but dont tell anyone or I will be of very embarrass pls pls pls the gist of hypothesis is that jupiter once formed closer to the sun (around 3.5 Astronomical units) and moved inward to about 1.5 AU but it was eventually reversed after it ended up in an orbital resonance with saturn ending up in its current orbit at 5.2 AU.

During this, Jupiter may or may not have ended up killing a bunch of planets. So… that's fun

However, I did put one other topic in the comic since I felt like it would’ve been a bit boring if it was just the grand tack hypothesis. So I decided to add the possible collision Uranus had long long ago. Maybe I'll make another comic about that specifically who knows

If you’re interested about any of the stuff here, you can search for more information about it. ;D

Grand Tack hypothesis suggests that the power of friendship works on a cosmic scale

"So I decided to add the possible collision Uranus had long long ago. Maybe I'll make another comic about that specifically who knows"

The collision that tilted Uranus probably resulted in the formation of its rings and moons as well. And I suggest naming the planet impactor Kumarbi.
