Hey, yours too. Thanks for your service. Now, about that rhubarb. Only if it’s blended in some sort of adult beverage of which I partook several thereof ....

Well as I wrote to several posters:

Yep, 'bout the same size. Got my facts a bit off so I guess I'll go stand in the corner for a while.

Think I'll go swallow some rhubarb or sumptin

I’m not sure if I have seen it.

Don’t worry. Sometimes I feel like I should be standing in the corner.

Now that I think about it I’m thinking camera movement - probably photographer was on a boat that was moving up and down - the circles seem on top of each other.

The big uns are Jupiter (natch), Saturn, and of course Uranus (couldn’t resist that one, could I?).

It’s pronounced “U-Ranus” not “Ur-anus” or U-rinus” as PBS TV was saying so they wouldn’t mis-prounce the “anus” word accidentally.
