So I have books from that period, the late 1700s to early 1800s, where the enumeration of planets is very clear. We know Earth is also a planet, right?

Kids Travel Journal by Bluebird Books is a practical guide designed to help children document their adventures, though the podcast mentions actually center around historical astronomy texts and Neil deGrasse Tyson's published legacy. On StarTalk Radio, Neil deGrasse Tyson discussed owning historical books from the late 1700s and early 1800s that clearly enumerate the planets, including Earth, and feature unusual historical names for celestial bodies like Uranus. In another StarTalk episode celebrating Mother's Day, Tyson's mother shared fond memories of introducing him to affordable literature from remainder tables during his childhood. During this heartwarming conversation, she also reflected on her son's own published works, expressing her belief that his books would carry on as a lasting part of his legacy long after his television programs faded. She specifically highlighted the importance of his books being translated into foreign languages to reach global audiences. These literary reflections underscore the deep personal and educational value of books passed down through generations.

“So that being said of all the things I've done, is there something that you think most about, or most highly? My books? I think your books will be a part of your legacy!”
“Programs can fade away, but your books I think will carry on! And particularly in foreign languages, I think that’s very important!”
