Mr. G and his wife Michelle get in a fight and then get transported to Outer space while riding on a Cheeseburger

By Alex and Grant

In this Unit 4 project that was about Astronomy,  two partners had to make a comic during class that talked about outer space.  In our comic, a married couple got in a fight about a cheeseburger.  Then, the cheeseburger eats both of them and takes them on a tour of outer space.  We had to talk about all the planets, satellites, small bodies, and other objects that are out of our galaxy.  Our job for the comic was to put all of our own information that we wrote down into a comic.  As the married couple get transported around space, they meet and talk to everything that they see.
