Space Game! Where in the Solar System is Destination Eight? (day 2)

Hey Space Bloggers. Here’s your Day 2 limmer-iddle!

topped off by an icy, white cap.

I’ve a few zillion dunes,

two potato shaped moons,

and a rover asleep in my lap!

Would you like to see that cap? Take a look at D8’s north pole.

Newcomers, check Space Game Rules!

What do you think those black things are? Could they be alive??? If they are, I’m staying out of their way – they’re each about as big as a football field!

Newcomers, to join the crew and help locate Destination Eight, stop by Space Game Rules!
