GREAT FALLS, Montana (AP) - A fourth-grader has come up with a
way to help us remember the newly assigned 11 planets. Maryn Smith
is the winner of the National Geographic planetary mnemonic
contest. Just think: 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. The
Montana school kids' mnemonic will be published in the National
Geographic book, "11 Planets: A New View of the Solar System." It
also will be recorded into a song by Grammy-nominated singer and
songwriter Lisa Loeb.
