Venus Mercury

Good i know now how to say venus mercury and this other planet i already forgot because i used these words once since i was born while being teached them in primary school in japenese pog.

69 if you turn upside down

Learning the names for the planets is actually pretty cool because they correspond to the names of the days of the week! Here’s a semi recent discussion about it, with a link to more examples of the same pattern on wikipedia.

It’s also useful knowledge if you’re a Sailor Moon fan, because the Sailor Moon characters share the same elemental correspondences as the kanji in the planet names.

I can’t believe I had to learn the numbers from one to whatever that last one was because I never used these words since they teached me in little kid school.

Found this on Facebook yesterday. I think it’s relevant so I’d drop this

Thanks for sharing! Reminded me that I never completed this set in Japanese. Might as well get some common knowledge studying in! ^>^

Completely off-topic, but I somehow started remembering the kids in school who used to bully me for being a space enthusiast (nerd).
