"By complex, confusing, and almost contradictory mathematical process, by the use of zigzags instead of straight lines, the earth can be proved to be the centre of things celestial;
But by an operation so simple that it can be comprehended by a schoolboy, its position can be verified among the other worlds which revolve about the sun, and its movements harmonized with the laws of the universe."
-James Weldon Johnson in "Autobiography of an Ex-coloured Man"
*also, Pluto's not a planet. FYI
