In anticipation of NASA’s press conference this afternoon (at 2 pm EST, 7 pm GMT), at which they will presumably announce the discovery of extra-terrestrial life, we have an alien and space themed morning coffee for you today!

(Blast Off by Ed Peterson)

(An ice sculpture of Optimus Prime by Antti Pedrozo and Michel de Kok. Optimus Prime is an alien, so this counts. Honest.)

(This one’s of an actual comet, named Hartley. Read and see more at Bad Astronomy)

Unfortunately, we could not locate a topic-appropriate webcomic this morning. So … unicown.
