Once again, the students at El Oro Way School have sent us postcards they’ve made while studying the planets of the solar system. Their teacher, Ms. Nava-Moreno, uses Ellie’s comics in their classroom. Here are the drawings they made. Thanks everybody!

Approaching Planet X

I ran across a cool video the other day – a tribute to the Voyager (or V-ger) spacecraft from the 1970s. It reminded me of similar footage sent from Ellie’s approach to Planet X. It’s a little grainy, but it was shot with 1970s technology and traveled 8.6 light years to get here.

Here’s a much better shot of the planet in false color. Mostly cloud covered, but you can make out some surface features:

Lastly, here’s the video that inspired me to post this stuff:

A few of the robot designs that preceded Ellie. Clockwise from top right is 4NDY, 9-A (Nina), and K8 (like cat, only Cate). Remind me to tell you about the time they had to rescue Ellie and get her to her launch in time!
