“Oh, Freddie’s always up to something.”

Is that supposed to be Freddie Mercury?

Mercury looks a little YMCA to me.

Retro is in again. Especially 80’s retro at the moment.

Since they’re are meeting, they might vote to kick him out of the club … since he’s now the smallest (after Pluto was voted out) … and with this change he doesn’t “fit in”. They can change the rules (modify the definition of a planet) – just like they did with Pluto.

Pluto one of my favorite Disney characters

For those that don’t know, when Mercury is in retrograde, it means that From an astronomical perspective, Mercury retrograde is an optical illusion. Mercury’s orbit around the sun is shorter than the Earth’s, which means that when Earth passes Mercury in orbit, there is a period of time when it appears to move backwards. It happens four times a year. This year’s third and final Mercury retrograde runs from October 14th to November 3rd

It’s always sunny in California

Darryl Martini aka The Cosmic Muffin ( RIP ) with him it always seemed that Mercury was Retrograde!

Isn’t mercury supposed to be the closest planet to the sun? And there seems to be a planet or two missing. Maybe it’s in a different part of its orbit.

And more than a little Freddy.

Glad it wasn’t a mullet or mohawk—might throw off its rotational orbit……still missing Pluto though!

I will keep an eye out for it.

That’s why they call him Mister Fahrenheit!

Freddie was always a bit spacey.
