"From the 1960s to the 1980s, space probes returned the first
close-up looks at eight of the then-nine planets. To researchers expecting a simple story that would explain what shaped our solar system, the observations sent a sobering message: in your dreams. Today, enigmas such as Mercury's makeup (mostly iron core, with a thin veneer of rock) and Uranus's skewed magnetic field continue to bedevil planetary scientists, and no tidy resolution is in sight." — Richard A.

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:4,7
