[ninja9578]

The Challenge Visit all the planets of our solar system. Find life on at least one of them. Draw what the aliens looked like and post the pictures. The Rules You must visit different planets in different dreams, you can't do this all in one. Each planet has to have it's own dream. You should post your dreams in this thread, they will get added to the running checklist in the following posts. Your drawings don't have to be masterpieces, but should get across what you saw. If you don't have a scanner or camera or feel more adept at using a digital drawing medium you can do that. Upload all images to a host imageshack is a popular one. No one expects your dream planet to scientifically represent the real planet, however you should be able to tell which one that you are on by some means, perhaps the way you got their or by how the planet looks. (Descriptions of the planets are below). Because most of us were alive when Pluto was considered a planet, you may substitute one of these planets for Pluto. Additional Information Mercury - The smallest and closest to the sun. It is dry and has no atmosphere and is covered in craters. The surface facing the sun can reach six hundred degrees and on the dark side it can plummet to a hundred below zero. Venus - Beneath thick clouds of sulfuric acid the surface is glowing red and lead flows on it's surface like rivers. Due to massive amounts of greenhouse gases it is the hottest planet in the solar system with a surface temperature over 700 degrees. *Don't need to visit Earth* Mars - It's red surface has some of the most outstanding features in the solar system, featuring the longest and deepest canyon and the largest volcano.
