With Pluto losing its planet status, and Xena too! :sob:, I got thinking about the mnemonics we were taught at school for remembering things. Given I loved astronomy, I was alright with the planets, but I still recall fun mnemonics for the spectral class of stars and trignometric functions:
Spectral Class of Stars: Oh Be A Fine Girl (or Guy), Kiss Me
Trigonometry: SOHCAHTOA
sin = opposite/hypotenuse; cos = adjacent/hypotenuse; tan = opposite/adjacent
What do you recall from school, college or uni?
