Can't remember the 11 planets? 4th-grader offers help

Permalink

GREAT FALLS, Montana (AP) -- Those having trouble remembering the newly assigned 11 planets, including three dwarfs, are getting help from a fourth-grader.

Astronomy buffs have a new way to remember the 11 planets.

Maryn Smith, the winner of the National Geographic planetary mnemonic contest, has created a handy way to remember the planets and their order in distance from the sun.

Her award-winning phrase is: My Very Exciting Magic Carpet Just Sailed Under Nine Palace Elephants.

The 11 recognized planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Eris.

Ceres, Pluto and Eris are considered dwarf planets.
