OUT OF
THIS WORLD

WELCOME BACK, PUZZLE PLAYERS!

🪐 ORBIT FAR FROM HOME

Buckle up, today’s cartoon takes us on a trip through space, where the Lunatic Lounge is serving up laughs at its new comedy club. The place looks like part comedy venue, part space station, with a couple of spacecraft docked and Cosmic Burgers just a short flight away. It’s certainly not your typical night out, but when the entertainment is this far from home, you’d expect the laughs to be on another level.

➤ LOUNGE ACT

The Lunatic Lounge resembles a shortened Space Needle, with a smiling planet on the top. The marquee reads “Tonight: Uncle Martin & ALF” and “Headliner-Mork from Ork.” Two spacecraft are docked below, with what appears to be room for four more.

➤ FAST FOOD, FAR OUT

A similar structure in the background has a top shaped like a burger and bun, with a sign identifying it as Cosmic Burgers. Four spacecraft are docked below it, while another structure sits off to the right. A large planet fills much of the background, with stars and small satellites scattered throughout the surrounding space.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 14-letter anagram that solved into a 3 + 2 + 4 + 5 layout. Our Sunday puzzle was solved in what felt like warp speed. With the cartoon setting being outer space and one look at how the answer layout was arranged, OUT OF THIS WORLD was my first guess. Reading through the cartoon sentence, followed by a quick pass through the clue words, confirmed my hunch to bring this one in for a smooth landing.

If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our biggest nudges were the setting and the marquee. The comedy club is orbiting a planet in the vastness of space, quite literally putting it OUT OF THIS WORLD, while the marquee is advertising some pretty big names, giving us another hint that the entertainment could be described as OUT OF THIS WORLD good.

👇 Click-To-Reveal Facts*: Objects Orbiting Earth

➤ How fast does something have to travel to stay in low Earth orbit?
About 17,500 miles per hour, or roughly 5 miles every second. At that speed, an object can circle Earth in about 90 minutes.
SOURCE
➤ How many sunrises can astronauts see in a single day?
About 16. The International Space Station circles Earth roughly 16 times every 24 hours, allowing its crew to experience about 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets in a single Earth day.
SOURCE
➤ How many satellites have we put into orbit around Earth?
Since the Space Age began in 1957, rockets have placed about 27,490 satellites into Earth orbit. As of July 2026, about 18,840 of them were still in space.
SOURCE
➤ How much space junk is flying around up there?
More than 1.2 million pieces of space debris larger than 1 centimeter are estimated to be orbiting Earth. Tens of thousands of larger objects are tracked as they travel around the planet.
SOURCE
➤ Does the International Space Station ever have to dodge space junk?
Yes. When a piece of orbital debris is predicted to pass too close, the station can perform a debris avoidance maneuver to move itself farther from the object. In April 2025, one such maneuver moved the station away from a rocket fragment that could have passed within about 0.4 miles.

🌕That’s A Wrap!

👀 WORD YOU LOOK AT THAT

(Click phrase to reveal its origin)

STEAL SOMEONE’S THUNDER

Meaning: To take attention or praise away from someone by using their idea or doing something before they get the chance.

So, where did it come from?
This one has a great theatrical backstory. In the early 1700s, English playwright John Dennis invented a new way to create the sound of thunder onstage for his play Appius and Virginia. Unfortunately for Dennis, the play was a flop and quickly closed.

Not long afterward, Dennis attended a production of Macbeth and heard his thunder effect being used onstage. Furious that his invention had survived while his own play hadn’t, Dennis reportedly complained that the theater had “stolen my thunder.” The expression stuck, and more than 300 years later, we still use it whenever somebody takes another person’s moment in the spotlight.
