Planet Melba


[Always smiling. Click for a larger (though still small) view.]

If Bob Ross were here, he’d call it a “happy little planet.” But then Neil deGrasse Tyson would come in, all spoiler-y, and say, “No, no, it’s a piece of Melba Toast. It’s much too small to be a planet.” But then Bob Ross would let Neil deGrasse Tyson play with Peapod the pocket squirrel, and Neil deGrasse Tyson would say, “Oh, okay, it can be a planet.” Which it is. Hail, Planet Melba!

It was a short-lived planet.

Imagine the dark crater in the bottom half as a mouth. And then above it, two eyes.

Elaine, I just realized that you were joking. Are you using an Old London brand telescope! :)
