Quote context

- They could not go to Pluto, outermost of all planets, and so cold that its atmosphere lies frozen on its surface.

- They couldn't go to Neptune or Uranus, twin worlds in eternal night and perpetual cold, both surrounded by an unbreathable atmosphere of methane gas and ammonia vapor.

- The Martians considered Saturn, an attractive world, with its many moons and beautiful rings of cosmic dust.
