The solar system includes moons (and some of those moons have moons), supernova explosions, comets, meteors, asteroids, and plain old space dust. To be sure, there are more objects in our solar system, some of which have yet to be discovered.
The canal was not complete in 1825, however. Many years after opening, people decided the canal needed to be a bit wider and larger. People wanted to connect more waterways to the Erie Canal in order to get full use out of the canal system. So, between 1836 and 1862 the Erie Canal was made wider and was connected to other canals.
On its completion in the fall of 1825, a gala celebration accompanied the trip from Buffalo to Albany, and downriver to New York City, which concluded with the pouring of a barrel of Lake Erie water into the Atlantic. Clinton's Ditch was a triumph. The $7,000,000 cost of the Erie Canal was soon repaid. Toll revenue amounted to close to a million dollars in the first year alone and provided New York with a surplus for many years.
