Analiese quietly groaned when Professor Sandhu replied 'yes' to her question. She leaned over to Avalon and whispered. "I don't know how to skate. Do you?" She leaned back into her chair. The last time she exercised with adults she nearly got lost in the mist. The mere thought of it sent cold chills down her spine. And now they were talking about the solar system. Well done in regaining Analiese's interest in the lesson, Professor. She raised her hand and began to speak. "The solar system consists of eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto was once called a planet was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. Most of the planets were discovered by ancient Greek and Babylonian philosophers. In contrast, Neptune was discovered in the 18th century by two German astronomers, Uranus was discovered in the 19th century by a German astronomer and a French astronomer, and Pluto in the 20th century by an American astronomer."
