The black cube of Saturn is a flat space on a massive planet that contains roughly 63 million square miles versus earth's 56.

Think about that won't you.

The gas Giants are more like failed stars than our idea of planets. The moon is a planet. As is the sun. Technically. By the ancient Greek understanding of planets as anything that moves against the stellar backdrop.

They of course thought that the planets were gods judging by the names. We now know that the planets are all flat discs. Jupiter is a quarter. Saturn is a nickel, mars is a penny. Venus is a dime. And mercury is bitcoin.

Pluto is shitcoin.

The ancient Greeks weren't aware of Pluto. It's too small and far away to be seen except with very modern telescopes.

I'm against the whole demoting of Pluto as a planet because the definition is kinda bullshit. But the truth of the matter is that there's more than "9" planets in our solar system. So long as we count a planet as any body large enough to be spherical.
