HTML Image Map Solar System Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

The exciting exploits of the NASA New Horizon<\/a> space probe and its photographs of the Solar System dwarf planet Pluto has set me wondering again about Mountains on the Solar System planets (and dwarf planets), as we started with More Javascript DOM Tutorial<\/a> as shown below, when we were still in the old days schooling thought pattern of thinking of the Solar System planetary as Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto<\/i> … or just try the wonderful music of Holst<\/a> for your inspiration, if you like?<\/p>\n

So we’ve started the ball rolling with an image map created via the great Mobilefish “create your own image map” functionality<\/a> to allow a click and go to link web application for the Sun and the Planets and the Dwarf Planets and the Moons of the Planets (and Dwarf Planets) … <\/p>\n

“Hey, astronomer, looking through that telescope by yonder planetarium and\/or observatory?!”<\/i><\/p>\n

“What’s up? Apart from dark matter (intelligent chortle, intelligent chortle)<\/font>.”<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

“Can’t we go back to calling Pluto a Planet, rather than this ‘Dwarf Planet’ bizzo?”<\/i><\/p>\n

“Well, you see, my young lad (smirking intelligent chortle, smirking intelligent chortle)<\/font> … you’re forgetting that we found Eris out there in the Kuiper Belt<\/a>, and it’s bigger than Pluto … and you see we’ve got lots of Disney films already out there talking about Pluto the Dog, and it’s showed up on Pluto<\/a>, so we can’t just say it isn’t a Planet at all … so its either Pluto Puppy or Dwarf Planet Pluto … take your pick.”<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

“Seems to me you could say Pluto the Dog was really Pluto Puppy when New Horizon left Earth nine and a bit years ago?”<\/i><\/p>\n

“Think you need to forget about the dog and concentrate on your ice mountains on Pluto<\/a>.”<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

… quite so, yes, and we wait with bated breath for more information, maybe longer than 16 months<\/a>, to be updated with the latest.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, click away and find out Google search image results (and link away to other content ideas while you are there) for today’s image map web application live run<\/a> you could call solar_system.html<\/a><\/p>\n

We’d like to thank Wikipedia for the two original images as the basis for the image map as per this image (of planets)<\/a> and this image (of moons)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
