The Solar System

I was SATURN the edge of the bed with my dog PLUTO by my side, whilst playing ASTEROIDS on the computer and listening to the 'VENUS and MARS' album by Paul McCartney & Wings. The SUN was burning hot this morning with the MERCURY rapidly rising on the thermometer. I wondered how on EARTH I was going to keep cool on a day like this. We'd had record temperatures all year round, which could be described as one of UR-ANUS Mirabilis years. A partial eclipse of the SUN was expected later today, which is a once in a blue MOON event, but not as rare as a total eclipse, where the chances of that occurring over England are about as remote as seeing NEPTUNE, the most distant planet in the SOLAR SYSTEM. I'm planning to watch 'JUPITER Ascending' later, a 2015 space opera film.

Although I didn't include the Kuiper Belt, I did include Pluto, now known to be the largest body in the Kuiper Belt, and officially no longer regarded as a planet.
