Your Monday Boggle

You’ve no doubt heard about the rare conjunction in our skies of the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, two well-known planets famous for such interesting features as spots and rings, respectively. They’re just lining up from our perspective, of course, not actually getting close. I looked it up – they are about five times as far from one another as Earth is from the Sun. Also, Jupiter and Saturn together contain over 90 percent of the planetary mass in the solar system. So, they’re real far part, and they’re real big. In comparison, the largest omelet ever made contained 145,000 eggs.
