I did not realize Mars was so small.
If our solar system ever has to go to war against another solar system, this should be our flag…
Yeah, but I would add Pluto on the side all alone and sad.
If you added Pluto, you would have to add all of the other Minor Planets as well.
Lol…agree 100%
One of my first thoughts was ‘Where’s Pluto?’ I keep forgetting and every time I remember it bums me out.
Uranus is pretty big.
Yes it is, and I see what you did there.
279.6 kilometers per pixel? Why not 300, or 100? That’s kind of an odd number to chose…
Off topic slightly, but I picked up a Baby Einstein dvd about space at the library for my girls to watch while I cook dinner or take a shower (I know, *gasp!* oh the horror!). When it got to the part about Uranus, the narrator mispronounced it every single time. And every time she said it I told my girls, “no, it’s actually pronounced yer-uh-nuhs.”
You know there’s something wrong with the world when you have to correct an educational dvd.
YER-UH-NUHS!!! ;)
This is mean to poor Pluto.
