I’m happy to announce that the latest Ellie On Planet X book, Science Diary, is now available at Amazon.com!
This new book collects the second half of comics from EllieOnPlanetX.com, plus lots of new stories, original never seen before art, and some guest artists. I can’t wait for you to see it.
For those of you not in the United States, you can still order from your local Amazon marketplace (amazon.ca, amazon.fr, etc.)

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!
