Lost in Space Some things are worse than an exam. Just as you thought the exam was about over, you were plucked from Earth by a strange alien being. After performing gruesome experiments on your body and your mind, the alien gave you a life-support belt and dumped you somewhere in the solar system. This happened several times. A brief description of each place at which you were left by the alien follows. Identify your location each time. Be as specific as possible, and be sure to include a brief explanation for your answer.
