10 Moons Every Person Should Know

Pretty much everyone can rattle off the names of our solar system’s eight (formerly nine) planets, but ask the average person to list some moons and you’ll be lucky if they can tell you more than two or three.

Now, you obviously can’t expect people to remember the name of every single satellite in the solar system (after all, they outnumber the planets by around 20 to 1), but if you have even the slightest interest in astronomy, it wouldn’t kill you to be familiar with at least an even ten. So with that in mind, we’ve assembled this reference guide to ten of the solar system’s most noteworthy moons.

BLOOM: In 2003, the Massachusetts Mental Health center was set to close, and the buildings were slated for demolition.  Artist Anna Schuleit created an installation to commemorate the site’s 9-decade history as psychiatric hospital.  This is the extraordinary result.

Colassal has a wonderful interview with the artist and more images like the ones above.  (via Metafilter)

These eerie and beautiful pictures are wonderful. And the interview with the artist is a nice, quick read that tells the story of how and why they came to be. 

To women he is Hollywood’s lone example of the sexy gentleman.  And to men and women, he is Hollywood’s lone example of a figure America, like most of the West, has needed all along: a romantic bourgeois hero. — Tom Wolfe
