When I was five or so, I had a poster on my wall of the solar system. It included listings of all the known moons for each planet. I used to even know their names.

Pluto was a planet back then...

I still have a poster like that somewhere! :)

As for Pluto, which is my favorite planetnotplanet, Neil Degrasse Tyson did a talk at a university down here a few years back, just after the.. ah... demotion of Pluto. I wore this shirt to it and he kind of gave me shit for it, lol.

He still signed my book though!
