The planets have a couple of sets of names. Their scientific designations are 55 Cancri b, c, d, e, and f. But a few years back, the IAU - the International Astronomical Union - gave them proper names: Galileo, Brahe, Lipperhey, Jansen, and Harriot. They're named for astronomers, or for lensmakers involved in creating early telescopes.*

Even now I make mix disc for Louise with different music on there, free to listen to when she’s baking or cooking, or wanting to chill. I love the idea of a mixtape! Wow, Brian is also the guy behind the superb podcast called playlist wars. That is such a good show! It’s a long time since I’ve heard that though. I remember as well that back in the day are used to visit people even as a kid and I will go straight to the record collections to find out what they owned, which I would then base my opinion of that person around, because I believe that somebody’s record collection expresses who they are as people. Brian being in bands. The Fourth.
