Planets Mnemonic

Many of us have used a simple memory device (or mnemonic) to help remember the names of the planets. I always used "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas." Using the first letter of each word helped me remember Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

Now, unfortunately, Pluto is no longer one of the nine planets. In fact, there are no longer nine planets, instead, there are eight. Now, my mnemonic no longer works. We need a new phrase.

Let's all put our heads together to come up with a new mnemonic. Visit our Astronomy and Space Forum and leave your best mnemonic.
