Things you didn't know about the Solar System

Gotta love this...I looked around at QXL, a European version of Ebay, and someone was selling a telescope and had this to say:

"Our solar system has millions of stars and planets and some of the most visible are Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune".

Must be quite a telescope, this. Wonder why NASA keeps telling us there's only one sun in our system...maybe it's all a big conspiracy?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
