Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!
Rules:
-
Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.
-
Single panels are preferred.
-
Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.
-
Don't be a dick.
-
I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

Okay, so the Moon weighs about 0.012 Earths. The Sun weighs about 333,000 Earths. Meaning the Sun is about 27.75 million Moons. Clearly, then, we can't assume they mean that 455,000 Moons would collapse into a star and be just as luminous.
So now what I'm wondering is: does ~1/455,000 of the Sun's light hit the Moon? That can't be true at all, right?
They're using luminosity from the perspective of Earth. In our sky, the sun is 400k times brighter than the full moon
Oh, interesting! I'm actually surprised it's that low.
I'm guessing this was more the reality:
"Boss, we have one more panel to fill. What do I put there?"
"Deadline's in an hour. Just put some shit in about the moon and send it to press."
Yeah! Science, bitch!
