@AimeeMaroux @antiquidons @histodons @mythology The myth of leads to what may be the raunchiest homoerotic passage of in the Phaedrus:

>"[255c] then the fountain of that stream which Zeus, when he was in love with Ganymede, called “desire” flows copiously upon the lover; and some of it flows into him, and some, when he is filled, overflows outside;"

Although it's mostly how *Eros *as desire helps elevate the soul to the Gods, I think we can read the cruder sex joke into it!

"Impact cratering happens on every solid body in the Solar System. In fact, it is the dominant process affecting the surfaces on most extraterrestrial bodies today.

On Earth, however, such craters are often lost over time by active geological processes, but elsewhere in the Solar System there are some truly majestic examples of impact craters preserved for all to see.

Here, we pick our highlights of what the Solar System has to offer."
