Planet! Planet!
For two reasons:
1. To see what interesting Mnemonics people can come up with, such as
"My very energetic malnourished chum just sat under noisy pipes clunking xylophones"
(So that means Charon is between Mars and Jupiter, eh?)
2. To see how the astrologers change their calculations. There was a bit of reshuffling when Pluto came on board. I'd love to see what they make of three more planets!

Given that there is a vast amount of distance between Sol and Pluto (way beyond an average person's, especially my, comprehension), why not more planets? It would be typically human to defunk this thought with a casual "We know of everything in our solar system". The plain and simple fact is, there is way too much stuff in our humble system for us to ever fully chart and catagorize it all.

Planet? Looks more like a disco ball.
I refuse to learn the names of any more planets. I could never remember that stupid sentence, anyway. I just memorized them in order of mean surface temperature on the sun side.

It's probably more of a small moon than a planet...I.D.10-t wrote:Here is a higher resolution picture.gonzo914 wrote:Planet? Looks more like a disco ball.
