NOVA is challenging the public to determine a new mnemonic to remember the names of the planets... all 8 of them or the 8 of them and the minor ones. Think you can come up with a good one?
We challenge you to come up with a mnemonic appropriate for this new era of planetary science, and we'll let you decide whether to stick to the eight official planets or fold in the dwarf planets as well (Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris—five and counting).
The better ones are on facebook. Some interesting ones...
  • "My Version Even Makes Jupiter Seem Uber New"
  • "Mushy Vegetables Enhance Moist, Juicy Steaks...Um, Not!"
