Sure, then why don't we go ahead and restore Ceres' Planetary status as well?Originally posted by Whoha
pluto should be grandfathered in. If they had only named that recently found object planet X then there would have been none of this difficulty.
This was the right decision.Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.Comment

I think the bigger picture is looking towards establishing rules for classifying things extrasolar. In that respect, it was a correct decision.
Culturally though, It'll be a looong time (if ever) before Pluto gets demoted. I'm guessing it'll just sport an asterik for the next hundred years.Comment

I'm guessing that this will increase the interest in smaller objects in the solar system. After all, NASA just launched a major mission to Pluto. Arrival 2015.
It's not just for planets anymore!I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

I say a planet is anything with sufficient gravity to pull itself into a round shape and hold an atmosphere and isn't a star.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."Comment

Who says the International Astronomical Union gets to say what a planet is? Mercury is a planet, so is Pluto. Ceres is an asteroid and always has been. If they want to add that other one past Pluto, give it a name and we have 10 planets.
There. Was that so hard? They should have asked me in the first place!Comment
