The Planets

All the planets are summarized below. This information is also included with all other reference information in the Reference Section. For each planet I have included the planet's glyph and a picture. All the pictures have come from the web site for the National Space Science Data Center at http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/photo_gallery/photogallery.html. They have many beautiful pictures from NASA, JPL, and other sources. I highly recommend the site.

In the Reference Section I only include the data needed to learn each planet.

Description: The Sun is where our identity or ego is. It is who we are, but may not be who others perceive us to be. This is where we like to shine.
