A Little Trip Down Memory Lane

Thank you, Rick, for your post today that reminded me of this!

This gem adored my bedroom wall all through my formative years in the 60s and played a huge part in firing my imagination and igniting my interest in astronomy.

I remember one summer spent back east at my grandparents' place in rural Massachusetts when I earnestly took crayon to paper and drew each of the planets along with the facts we knew about them at the time. I even dared to wonder if our probes would ever see any of them (beyond Mars and Venus at the time) up close…

And PLUTO is a PLANET, damn it!
