All the methane a civilization would ever need, if we can get it.

Mars should be about twice as wide as the moon, but it looks about the same in that picture. Are you sure that’s not Io?

If you are going to go to the work of drawing a kine, I’d suggest you at least use paper.

(As I suspected, it is a bovine word, and is the old fashion singular of cows)

I Jupiter’s core is thought to be solid carbon: diamond.

WOW, when I was a kid traded 3-steelies and my best shooter for a marble just like that!

Went through some old stuff not too long ago. Held onto some of my marbles for 50+ years. Donated them to the thrift store that supports abused women.

Do kids even play marbles anymore? I spent a good deal of my childhood with them. Had some steelies as well.

Thanks for the memories!

Earth wouldn’t exist but for Jupiter—which has captured a ~zillion planet-destroying objects. (and why we’re alone).

"The Lord sure makes some beautiful worlds."

Yes, Big Jupe is cold and nasty and has a poisonous atmosphere and bone-crushing pressure and gravity, but it sure paints a pretty picture.

Not only is Jupiter the largest planet orbiting the Sun, it contains more than twice the amount of material of all other objects in the solar system combined — including all the planets, moons, asteroids and comets. In composition, Jupiter resembles a star, and scientists estimate that if it had been at least 80 times more massive at its formation, it could have become a type of star called a red dwarf rather than a planet.

What kind of idiots are they hiring at NASA to write this crap? Oh, it's got twice the material of the rest of the solar system, but hey, IF it was EIGHTY times bigger, it'd be a star... What is the point of writing that?
