| 'My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pancakes' - that's one mnemonic device to help us remember the order of the planets! Unfortunately, however, it's no longer accurate. Since 2006, Pluto is no longer officially classified as a planet.
Don't worry about thinking up a new way to memorize the order of the planets, though. This fantastic screen saver will make the order of the solar system much clearer to you than any old mnemonic device!
Come along on a fantastic voyage to the planets of our solar system. Visit all the fascinating moons, cross the Asteroid Belt and take a good (but not long!) look at the Sun itself!
The automatic information console provides you with the most important data on each celestial body, and the aerial view mode lets you view the entire solar system in all its glory.
With a little patience, you might even see Halley's Comet, as it passes by once every 76 years. Of course, you won't have to wait so long - luckily time goes by considerably faster here. Therefore you get a very good idea of how the solar system looks when it is in motion. |
