Chubby, brunette Eunice Kinnison sat in a rocker, reading the Sunday papers and listening to the radio. Her husband Ralph lay sprawled upon the davenport, smoking a cigarette and reading the current issue of EXTRAORDINARY STORIES against an unheard background of music. Mentally, he was far from Tellus, flitting in his super-dreadnaught through parsec after parsec of vacuous space. E.E. "Doc" Smith, Triplanetary, Chapter 5: "1941"

Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day answers the question, "So, how much water is there on Earth?" Hmmm...icy moon of Jupiter or dwarf planet, anybody?

Not so much water as people think, yeah.
Still, the aliens of V and battle Los Angeles wouldn't come down this gravity well to get it.
