The new mnemonic for memorizing the planets in our solar system in order away from the sun. Until recently, the mnemonic was My Very
Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pies, but since Pluto was
eliminated from
the list, "pies" no longer fits.
Grade
School Kid 1: I have an
astronomy quiz tomorrow, but
I don't know the planets in order!
Grade School Kid 2: Dude, it's just My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nougat. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune!
Grade School Kid 1: What happened to Pluto?
Grade School Kid 2: Psh, Pluto is so pre-August 2006.
