Geocache Description:

Every year on April 22nd we celebrate Earth Day, but we're far from being the only planet out there that's orbiting a star. Many objects orbit numerous stars. And some objects orbit other non-star objects as well. This cache is meant to honor all of these orbiting objects, and in particular, the 9* planets in our solar system. In order to locate this cache, you'll have to solve the puzzle below.




Parking available at given coordinates. All relevant data taken from NASA.gov, April 15, 2015.

*My apologies to Neil deGrasse Tyson, but for purposes of this cache I am considering Pluto to still be a planet.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
