Dero's And Dewssox79's Astronomy Discussion Thread

[Crystallas]

the theory of uncharged? I wish I could say yes or no as far as an opinion. but I have read a little bit of it.

Where do I begin. How about folding space or wormholes.

Maybe I'm odd. I do enjoy the discoveries and images. But when you boil down to brass tacks, it's not much different than having an interest in discovering species of bird or fish. Now, when you get into methods of possible travel, then the topic scratches some realm of our limitations and how to break the rules!

I think Nemesis theorists may be the dumbest of all pseudo-scientists.

 

[brett05]

Ok. Dim it down for me.

Why shouldn't Pluto be a planent and why should others?

 

[Shawon0Meter]

How is this the same Wrigley Firehawks that created the who makes your sandwiches thread?

:bowrofl:

A planet must:
1. Orbit the sun
2. Be in Hydrostatic Equilibrium
3. Have cleared its neighborhood

Pluto doesn't meet criterion three. A definition had to be made, and if they hadn't there would be seventeen planets right now. Not that a large number is bad, but a definition for something as important as a planet is essential and I'm sure the education system appreciates not having to make seven year olds memorize seventeen planets, some of which don't have permanent names yet, in order.

Damn it! That totally screws up my acronym. My Very Education Mother Just Served Us Nine ...

1). Thanks
2). Cleared it's neighbor?

 

[brett05]

3). Thanks. It was worth another thanks

 

[brett05]

Ok I read up on it.
1). It seems arbitrary
2). Wouldnt Neptune/uranius be out as planets two because if I am not mistaken they cross paths

 

[Jntg4]

Lol, no, because they dont cross paths and you are misunderstanding the concept.

 

[brett05]

Really? I would have lost money if I still bet that Neptune and uranus cross

Ok I guess I'm still not understanding it. :shrugs:

 

[Jntg4]

Pluto crosses Neptunes orbit, not Uranus. But that's not same as being in the Kuiper Belt at most times like Pluto or in the Asteroid Belt like Ceres.

 

[brett05]

Thanks for the correction

For me Pluto has a moon and orbits the Sun. Seems that is planetary

So Mercury and Venus aren't planets then, huh? But several small asteroids are?

 

[Crystallas]

There is only one way to settle this repetitive debate on Pluto. The first person to go there and check it out will have to report back.

Not saying that either. Im just saying if you have a moon and orbit a Sun you are a planet

I vote we send WFH.

 

[DewsSox79]

I vote we send WFH.

nah, he still can be a good citizen for humanity. I say we send CO and CNM since it wont really be a loss to this planet we call earth. Low risk high reward.
