glowjet Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 For the Planets, once Pluto had been reduced in the ranks, I altered the mnemonic to : "My Very Elderly Mother Just Stays Up Nights"One of my own, to remember the major stars in the Pleiades : "My Mothers Eccentric Aunt Alice Plays The Cello atrociously" "Merope Mia Electra Atlas Alcyone Pleione Taygeta Celaeno Asterope" remembering their position is a little more difficult, but comes with practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
