On Jupiter and Mars


Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars 
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars ...

Yesterday, we had a solar eclipse, we relaxed inside. Prudence is a virtue. To-day, we took a walk along the solar system on Mastick Road in the Rocky J. River Metropark. They have a series of stops with signs describing our solar system. One step is equal to a million miles on the walking scale, this ends up as close to 3/4 of a mile. They stop at Neptune, the eight planet. Pluto is mentioned on an early note as one of several dwarf planets. When this was controversy, a term arose 'trans-Neptunian objects'. Pluto was discovered in 1930, the next was in 1992, the current count is beyond 2,000.
