7. I wonder how they know its surface has patches of red dye #52.
And does its atmosphere taste like artificial strawberry flavoring?

14. This is a drawing
Not a photo.

(Many astronomical instruments, NASA or otherwise, are definitely not only black and white, by the way.)

5. It's awfully bright for such a distant object, isn't it?
Must be some Mothership with high beams on to the right.

8. NO, NO, NO!
If, as some discussion on this board yesterday would have you ponder, this is the true ruler of Virgo, it should look more like a Quisp or perhaps a Shredded Wheat or Honeycomb (because I am a Virgo and those are my favorite cereals). I do not accept this Crunchberry as my true ruler. That is all.

15. Addendum: From How do Planets get their names?
"They named it after the Inuit goddess of the sea who, according to some versions of her story, was thrown into Arctic waters by her father."
