Dr. William Bidelman (a.k.a. The Moon)

Noted for his continuing efforts to elevate The Moon to full planetary status.

Professor Chris Mihos (a.k.a Mars), God of War - and donkeys

He lives for making war on students by subjecting them to his asinine teaching methods. Early astronomers suspected the presence of intelligent life, but we now know better.

Professor Heather Morrison, (a.k.a. Jupiter) King (Queen) of the Astronomy Department. Her despotic method of rule, learned from her days on the Australian Outback, has led her to gravitationally dominate the other Gods of both the Solar System and the Astronomy Department.

Professor Earle Luck, (a.k.a. Saturn) Father of the Gods - and devourer of children

He formerly ruled the Astronomy Department with an iron fist, but after mistakenly devouring a meteorite instead of a student, rule of the roost has passed to Jupiter.

Charley Knox the Great (a.k.a. Uranus), God of the Heavens - and the Digital Computing Machines

Charley is the favorite God among students of the Astronomy Department because he never gives them a failing grade. He is also noted for having some quite peculiar (orbital) properties.

Dr. Paul Harding (a.k.a. Neptune) God of the Sea - and Down Under

Answerable only to Jupiter, he disdains the students as mere mortals. Using his seafaring prowess, he is working to corner the market on overseas Vegemite shipping in the outer solar system - among other stuff.

Professor Idit Zehavi (a.k.a. Venus), Goddess of Love and Beauty

Beyond her exterior beauty there lies a scorching hot atmosphere of sulfurous fumes fueled by rampant acidic volcanoes. Students beware.

Jeff Kriessler (a.k.a. Mercury), Messenger of the Gods

He is diligent in his efforts to convey the Astronomical message of the Gods to the student masses. There are reports, however, of several students being burned by his fiery chariot.

Jack (a.k.a. Pluto) is the Dog of the Gods, and a God among Dogs.
