Space is nuts. This is moon dust under a microscope.
The crater near top left, being only a few thousandths of an inch across, was probably made by a meteoroid only a tenth of a thousandth of an inch in diameter. On the Earth, such micrometeoroids would be slowed to negligible speeds by our atmosphere, and simply float to the surface. But the absence of a lunar atmosphere allows them to hit the surface at tens of thousands of miles per hour.

A quick pass at Jamie McKelvie’s fantastic new design for Carol Danvers, the new Captain Marvel. I’ve been wanting Carol to become the new Captain Marvel for years. It only makes sense, given her history. She deserves it. I’m excited to see where Kelly Sue DeConnick takes her. A lot of people seem to be on the fence about the hair, but I love it. It’s unique and cool and fun to draw.
Like, like! A thousand times, like!

One last Richard Avedon photograph from the 1965 Harper’s Bazaar modern special: Naty Abascal. (You’d never allow a cigarette near the pure-oxygen atmospheres of a 1960s space mission, but never mind.)
