Cerberus is a three headed DOG.

The boy Zeus captured from the mountainside as an eagle to act as cupbearer and lover to him was named Ganymede. Ganymede was created by the gods as the most beautiful human alive.

Correct that factual error please XD

I was thinking, some time back, of doing a list on Mysteries of the Solar System as well as something along the lines of The Most Amazing Spots or Sights on each planet (planetary astronomy is a favorite of mine). It’s harder to pin down subjects for lists in broader categories–I mean, The Ten Largest Known Stars was an idea I had a while back, but then it’s not a terribly interesting subject and there wouldn’t be much to say about it. Galaxies visible with a backyard telescope would be another… that might be more interesting. Or a list of visible planetary nebula.

Any thoughts?
