My little brother got into outer space and stuff so my step-mom bought him a place mat with all the planets on it. When I first saw it, I was upset, because it was newer and so Pluto wasn’t labeled. I was about to say something when I noticed something…
Pluto is there.
The artist remembered Pluto.
Guys…
The artist drew Pluto crying.

Solar system ring :D
This ring features a complete band of Gibeon Meteorite framed and mounted in an 18k gold band. The meteorite has been etched with nitric acid to reveal the characteristic patterns, or Widmanstatten figures, of iron meteorites, and set with 9 gemstones representing the planets of our Solar System. Mercury is represented by a rust colored Sapphire, Venus a golden Sapphire, Earth an irradiated blue Diamond, Mars a Ruby, Jupiter an Opal, Saturn a Cats Eye Chrysoberyl with an inlaid 24k gold ring, Uranus a green Sapphire, Neptune a blue Sapphire and Pluto a black Diamond.
The band of meteorite is separate from the interior gold ring. The planets can rotate around your finger :)
A few mock up illustrations for my new iPad app, teaching children about the solar system.
NASA Unveils Solar System Atlas
NASA has released a new solar system atlas, composed of more than 18,000 individual images, of more than 560 million stars, galaxies and asteroids — many never even seen before. The atlas images were taken by the Wide-field Survey Explorer (WISE), NASA’s infrared space telescope. A quick guide to WISE’s all-sky archive is available online.
Above is a photo of the known sky, with the Milky Way galaxy running horizontally across the map in blue.
