    Mysterious black box: I wonder what was censored above Pioneer 10 & below Ganymede in the lower right corner?

    Must be an alien space station.

    Only 200 missions in 50 years? Why does it seem that number should be higher? That's not hit against NASA and others, they really are making the mot of their missions if we have only done 200 and learned all that we have.

    @TimMighty: Cunningly concealed at the end of the second paragraph, the words "giant, full-sized map here" are actually the link to a giant, full-sized map.

    The dark purple of a link doesn't always provide the best contrast with the black article text, so it's not surprising you missed it.

    Sorry, guys, but Vulcan orbits 40 Eridani A, not Epsilon Eridani.


    Nice try, though.

    @TheAlmanac: Man, I said the same thing on Gizmodo earlier today (Gizmodo) and they all insulted me. I feel more at home here at io9 sometimes...


    And sidenote, is it mandatory that you start such a statement with "sorry guys," because we both did...
