Brainy Quote of the Day

Saturday, August 21, 2010

A very LONG year...

"Neptune Nears End of First Orbit Since Its Discovery in 1846": it's end is in 2011.

Neptune "year": 2011 - 1846 = 165 earth years.

Earth summer vacation: 3 months/one quarter of year approximately.

165/4 = 41.25 earth years of summer vacation!

I'm sure if Neptune had teenagers, they would LOVE this.

I'm sure if Neptune had teachers: they would NOT!
