After having seen the latest pictures sent by the probe, the lead song of such a soundtrack would be Set the Controls for the Heart of ... Pluto!

yet still, nine and half years to get there and that's our solar system.
intergalactic will remain SciFi for another few thousands years. too bad, i'm eager to see some news from spot closer than we are,
to big bang point and see how they there got along for few billions years longer than we.
oh well, perhaps i'm too much into SciFi stuff :violin

well for some early photos go here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cIbfbl8124

at 1.45 minutes in you see a photo of galaxies 9-10 billion light years away, when the universe was 2-3 billion years old...
and at 15.56 minutes in you get a photo of our entire universe when it was only 300,000 light years old and still in a plasma state before planets were formed.

Well, if you believe: The moon landing was faked, or, there are glass structures on the moon, or, the aliens told us to not come back, or, there are buildings on the moon, or, the US can get there in 90 seconds, and lets not forget the dead girl, with bones glued to her face, in a space ship bigger than Manhattan.

Pluto's atmosphere... http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/17/8...-atmosphere-extends-1000-miles-out-into-space

There's canals on Pluto. I wonder what Percival Lowell would think about that. BTW, the Pl in Pluto are Percival Lowell's initials.

Anyone remember 'Neptune All Night'? When the Voyager spacecraft made it that far, PBS literally did an all-nighter about it, and on CNN the following a.m., I remember Ted Turner interviewing Carl Sagan (!) which, believe me, was even more surreal than the fly-by--listening to the patois of Sagan (slow, measured baritone) and Turner (very slow, hesitant southern drawl) was nothing if not stupifying (not very informative, as I remember).

Can't remember what I smoke or drank that night to stay awake so long, but it was fascinating stuff, and the Pluto pics are simply amazing, particularly on a big LED screen.

ED

I have a projector that I plug my laptop into and a projection screen in my living room. I've looked at Mars and Saturn on the projection screen, but haven't done that with Pluto yet. I was thinking about it. Its not as high resolution as HDTV, but the image is really big on the screen, bigger than any HDTV that I've seen. The resolution is similar to a computer screen.

With this week's super moon still fresh in our minds, here's a hypothetical question.

Besides the Earth, our solar system has 7 other planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune)... some of these are relatively small and some are very massive.

Which planet could fit in the space between the Earth and the Moon?
