What's REALLY mysterious about that picture is the unexplained planet that is amazingly close to the sun.  Is it the CounterEarth? It probably is.

I was just watching an episode of Spider-Man Unlimited the other day with Counter Earth in it.
I don't recommend that series, though; I was very disappointed with it.
My son wants to point out that Saturn is a gas planet. Although there are plenty of rocks in those rings, so I don't know what he's going on about.

"Gas Planet" is a misnomer. There's solids in there, according to the book "Space And Beyond," which is my key reference for space (and beyond!), having read it nearly daily for about a year.
