The irony of posting the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanetary system with the caption "You can't just post a random picture and expect people to get it" is chef's kiss perfect. Every astronomy nerd is sitting there thinking "that's literally not random at all - it's one of the most significant exoplanet discoveries of the decade." It's like showing a periodic table to chemists and claiming it's obscure. The TRAPPIST-1 system, with its seven Earth-sized planets, three potentially in the habitable zone, is basically the celebrity solar system of modern astronomy. But sure, "random picture." Scientists have only been obsessing over it since 2017.

Cosmic breakups are the WORST! This comic perfectly captures that moment when a star dumps its stellar partner for the ultimate bad boy of the universe—a black hole! The star is literally being seduced by the gravitational equivalent of a cosmic motorcycle-riding rebel. "With him... it feels like time stops" is ACTUALLY TRUE because black holes warp spacetime so severely that time dilation occurs near their event horizons! And that "I'm falling. Madly." line? *chef's kiss* Pure astrophysical poetry! Once you cross that event horizon, honey, there's no coming back. Talk about a relationship with some SERIOUS gravitational commitment issues! 🌟🕳️
