I got as far as finding the planets, after the nudges. And I did know of a similar mnemonic - My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pickles (for the Pluto fans).
But I didn't notice the words in the clues, and I just wasn't putting 2 and 2 - nor any of the other numbers - together to get to the answer. Doh!
With all the math and geography and now astronomy metas, I feel like I'm in summer school. And maybe flunking out.
Thanks woozy - Congrats on your first MMM! I hope to solve the next one.

Hmm... It's been pointed out that "Head" in the title may have been misleading.
I just meant "I'm so forgetful I need help remembering things" and did not mean to imply we were supposed to do anything to the first letter of words.
Oops.
Maybe I' retitle the CROSSHARE... or maybe I won't.

Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.
