      That’s excellent, I will remember that one! I can’t beat that.
      Although, given that Pluto’s not classed as a planet anymore (http://ias.im/63.853 ), will you think up a different mnemonic or just miss off the ‘P’?

      That’s a great one, I have to admit my memorys a bit poor and I often need to look up things like that on goggle or wikipedia.

      That’s good!
      I think they’ve made it easier for planets around other stars, they are just “name of star” then a,b,c etc. Not exciting, but easy!
