Proposed Flags of the Solar System - Neatorama

These flags for each of the planets in our solar system were designed by redditor Weslii. He said it was just something to do during a boring afternoon. The minimalist designs incorporate only circles, lines, and arcs, but still say something unique about each planet. What do think of them? -via Metafilter

I'm with you about Pluto's status as a planet! I have a soft heart for that lil dude :)
Thank you for sharing your blog!

Uranus is windy as well (and if Neptune's flag were to be switch with Uranus', it'll tickle the third grader in me to no end).

I am an amateur astronomer and science writer. I run a blog advocating the planet status of Pluto and all dwarf planets at laurelsplutoblog.blogspot.com .

Thank you for that insight! As a biochemist-by-training, astronomy is an interesting topic to read about but I profess no deep understanding of the field.
I am surprised however that astronomers (be they planetary scientists or other types) don't agree with each other over the basics like the definition of planets and non-planets. Sure, we have controversies and disagreements in biology all the time - but I think all biologists pretty much agree on the basic taxonomic classifications (for example).
Are you an astronomer?

That's supposed to be a plant on earth's flag, to indicate life. Neptune is very windy.

Dear God, Hofmann would be turning in his grave!

I'm glad I don't live in America! I thought the UK was getting pretty bad, but we've got it pretty good.

Albert Hofmann is still alive and kicking at 101 years of age, believe it or not.

Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey are turning in their graves.

First off, the rest of that Jimi Hendrix line goes "Not neccesarily stoned, but beautifull."

Secondly, I think it's hillarious that someone involved in a funded-by-the-CIA project would be banned from the US.

It doesn't "beg the question", it raises the question.
