BONUS: Once you have solved this one, can you make an even smaller grid?

Solution A Smaller Grid | Comment 14 of 16 |

The 6x8 and 4x12 grids of the "Nine?" planets each has an "area" of 48 compared to the 7x7 grid of an "area" of 49, thus each may be considered 'an even smaller grid'. Excluding PLUTO, a grid of an "area" of 45 (5x9) may be created:

 

H T R A E *    P V E E    S U N E V
M A R S N *    L E A N    E S R A M
E V E N U S    U N R U    N U J S E
