Solar System

A gravitationally bound system of the Sun and all the things that orbit it, there is one star, 8 planets, (used to be 9 (with Pluto) but considered to be a dwarf planet in 2006.) and 5 dwarf planets recognized by the IAU.

In prehistoric times, the first 7 planets (including Luna, our moon.) and the Sun were discovered. In the Copernican system, the Moon was considered to be no longer a planet. Luna was originally thought to be the only body in the system whose revolution was not centered on the Sun. The next 2 planets, Uranus (yuhr-uh-nus) and Neptune, weren't discovered until 1781, when Uranus was discovered, and 1846, when Neptune was discovered. Many of Jupiter's (Galilean moons) and Saturn's moons were discovered during the 1600s. In 1787, Uranus' first two moons, Titania and Oberon were discovered. 2 years later, Saturn has two more moons discovered. In 1801, Ceres was finally discovered by Giuseppe Piazzi, After Neptune was discovered in 1846, in the same year, Neptune's moon (Triton) was found. 2 years later, a moon of Saturn has been found. In 1851, Uranus has two more moons. In 1877, the two moons of Mars were finally founded by Asaph Hall. Years later, a moon of Jupiter and a moon of Saturn was discovered. Going to the 1900s, 4 more moons of Jupiter were found. Then in 1930, Pluto was found! But later on in 2006, after 76 years, Pluto was now considered a dwarf planet. Most of the dwarf planets were found in the 21st century.

Solar Eclipse 2017

The solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. This was a rare chance to see a total solar eclipse across pretty much the entire United States, and if you looked at it, you could've gotten blind.

The Solar Purgatory

The Solar Purgatory (abbreviated 'Sumber') is a fanmade combination of the 2 mini-maps Solar Express (Solex) and Pinball Purgatory (Pumber) from the (game)Celeste Strawberry Jam mod. It combines mechanics from the Solar Express (dream blocks, Theo) and Pinball Purgatory (bumpers, moonboosts). It's an extremely hard map with gameplay orders of magnitude harder than anything in the base game (including goldens, and fwg)
"Sumber's an awesome map and I have like double the respect for anyone who goes out of their way to beat it"
"I should lock myself in a room with 500 pizzas and only come out when I can beat the solar purgatory"

solar program

United States Marine Corps Solar Program - everything under the sun. All you boys and girls who want to join-up and think you don't need education to be a bad-ass, will be placed into the USMC Solar Program. Some exciting career MOS's include: Guarding a concrete runway on a deserted island for 3 years straight, burning shit-pits, drilling bed-making procedures and of course - push-ups, push-ups, push-ups. Other branches of the Armed Forces provide similar programs, although nothing quite compares to the Marines.
Damn! I wanted to see the world but they stuck me into the USMC Solar Program!

I'm shipping out to Japan next month. I think for the next 2 years I'm going Solar.

Solar spooled

When you take the wrong drugs and end up invisible to the point of inner clearity and external invisiblisation. Not sure how it works, occasionally happened with Dexedrine suicide attempts as a child victim of attempted municipissicide
I got solar spooled a few years ago and my friends couldn't find me for over 24 hours
