Whenever I read about the beautiful young high school or college girls, or even children kidnapped and later turned up dead, I think of Pluto and the likelihood that this dark planet projected its shadow over these victims' sun, moon, Venus, or Mars chart positions. In everyday parlance, ...
Glue each planet model onto its corresponding orbital path using the hot glue gun. Glue Mercury onto the orbit closest to the sun followed by Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in order as the orbits get further from the sun. For a more realistic look, space...
