Inspired by @solarrsystem and @astro_jaz, here is the planets (and maybe some moons) as cats. (all images from pinterest)

Let’s start with Earth- the blue marble and this beautiful Bengal Cat

Orbiting Earth is The Moon- the only place in space we have set foot on- and we are going back! Hopefully by 2024, NASA will have stepped on the lunar surface once again with the #Artemis Mission

And another for the moon because wow

Next is Mars- the red planet currently inhabited by robots, slightly smaller than the earth.

And now on to Venus- Earth’s Evil twin enshrouded in a thick layer of sulphuric clouds

Jupiter- my favourite planet to observe, so big that it doesn’t orbit the sun- the sun and Jupiter orbit a point slightly above its surface called the barycenter! It’s known for its swirling storms and multitude of moons- I couldn’t decide which floof!

One of Jupiter’s moons is #Europa, which has a subsurface ocean and crisscrossed with red channels!

Saturn- it’s rings are majestic, just like this beauty! It’s the second largest planet and also has lots of moons, a few are astrobiologically interesting!

One of these moons is Enceladus- like Europa it’s for an icy surface that is constantly replenished, making it the most reflective body in the solarsystem! It’s tiny, but has a subsurface ocean holding more water than all of Earths oceans!

And my favourite moon- Titan- also orbits Saturn . It’s the only moon with a significant atmosphere and has weather! Except instead of a water cycle, it’s lakes, rivers and clouds are liquid methane!

Neptune is a mysterious planet, visited only once, back in the 80s, by Voyager 2.

Uranus is another blue ice giant- it’s thought the blue colour comes from methane in its atmosphere! Why it is paler than neptune is not fully understood.

Back to the inner planets is Mercury, the closest planet to the sun (though not the hottest- Venus’ CO2 atmosphere takes gold at 463C- 30 degrees more than Mercury! It looks dull and grey to the eye, but in false colour it’s full glory is revealed!

Of course I couldn’t miss out Pluto! Our first close up only came in 2015! And wow what a (dwarf) planet! Not a dead world, but with a swirling surface with many features. #Pluto #SpaceCats #ThePlanetsAsCats

Pluto’s largest moon is Charon, which is half Pluto’s size! This means that they orbit a point (the barycentre) above Pluto’s surface! Unexpectedly, Charon looks very different to pluto. #ThePlanetsAsCats #NASA #Pluto #Charon #SpaceCats
