Today is a special day at Bite Daily, mainly because we spent most of it identifying all these planets and taking a trip down sci-fi memory lane. Do you think you can get all the references? Just click on the image to enlarge, but beware, it might blow your mind. We also included spoiler versions for those who just aren’t as geeky as we are.

I absolutely love this but… what of geek singer Jonathan Coulton's Chiron Beta Prime? Invader Zim's Irk?

I agree, I miss the prominent Dune planets like Arrakis, Giedi Prime, ix and Tleilax. Just to name a few.

You state that Alderan was recently destroyed? Did you even watch Star Wars? “A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away”! Since when did “A long time ago” == “recently”?

Isn't it Fhloston Paradise from the Fifth Element, not just Fhloston?

Agreed with Aris, where is Irk? Where is Titan? WHERE'S GALLIFREY?!?!

No Ceres, SR-388, or Zebes?

There is no zergus or aior!

To Xhable:
As time is a variable depending on the observer, the event given by the destruction of Alderan may be recent, as the light had to travel thousands of years to get here, we might had been able to see its destruction just a few years ago, making it a recent-long-long-time-ago event.

In fact, we just knew Alderan was destroyed in 1977, and that´s when it disappeared from our space charts.

Melmac was destroyed also. It needs to be a dotted line.

+1, Aior is seriously needed. And I think you're thinking of Char (zerg home planet).
And to that affect, it needs Tarsonis/Korhol too.

Ie. add the Koprulu Sector.

Fhloston Paradise was the name of the hotel. The planet was just Fhloston

I agree with all the comments that there are several missing planets. Gallifrey or Skaro should definitely be on here as well as Arrakis. One thing though, all 3 of these planets were destroyed, or at least sealed in a time lock or rendered uninhabitable. But what of the ringworld or the Puppeteers Kemplerer Rosette. What of Kithrup or Garth from the Uplift series. Or Klendathu from Starship Troopers. Pell's World from Downbelow Station.

With the exception of the Doctor Who planets, all of the planets listed above are from Hugo Award winning novels. They all deserve a place on this list. And there's in the image that I don't know. Where is “Planet Zorg” from? I can't find any references to a planet Zorg except in an MMO that seems to have 61 people signed up for it.

where is Mondas????!!!!

Where is New Meca from Ridick?
