An interesting fact for those of you that don't know it. - The "New Horizons" spacecraft (which will reach Pluto in 2015) actually has onboard some of Clyde Tombaugh's ashes. How fitting for the man who discovered Pluto to ride along on our first visit to it.
and surely beautiful and maybe lifechanging to have ... walked on it? Good luck with a suit that can withstand it. It's probably much large... or you'd have to stay on the ship. You'd probably need a nuclear thrust just to get across the other planets just to get to pluto on time... THERE AND BACK! I was imagining a nuclear bomb will work like nitros. Surely, that's a thought crossed, but highly dangerous... and what material can withstand such explosion?
@mojo9o I believe that's exactly what Project Orion was about, using nuclear thrust to gain high speeds. But later on after a debate, it got banned since it spread radioactivity in space :/
@TheSteady0 You are completely correct except for that they didn't want radioactive matter in space because they didn't want it exploding and raining radioactive debris into the atmosphere. They don't care if the radioactivity is only spread into space.

If I remember right, if Pluto's size classified it as a planet, there would be 14 planets in our solar system. So; eight without it, or 14 with it. Kinda ruins the sentence they tried to teach to people for remembering the planets and their order - "My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming *(planets) removed* "
I've wondered about this since I first read about the Kuiper belt: Is there enough energy in the masses in the Kuiper belt to cause then to accrete eventually into a planet; if not, how much energy would be required to kickstart an accretion process and what, if anything, could cause that to happen?

This bitch is fucking rude... "Pluto doesn't care what we call it". How could you possibly know that? Have you talked to Pluto? Has it expressed its lack of care for what we call it? The very best you've gotten is a couple images; That is like me peeking at a girl through the window and saying, "Oh, she likes me peeking at her anyway."
3:01 The Roman and greek gods are originated at ancient Greece so maybe its more correct to call it Greek god and not Roman. but they shared the same ,give or take, gods. to be more corect you can say: named after the Greek and Roman god Pluto that in Latin we wrote it Pluto and in Greek has a different writing and spelling. Named after the Latin word for the greco-roman god pluto. but the theology is originated in greece.
PLUTO is not the roman god of the underworld but the greek god of the underwold,charon was the boatman of styx river and his job was to transport with his boat the dead to the underworld
@Elvenheim PLUTO(DIS, this is the roman name);one of the twelve olympian gods,sun of KRONOS(saturn) and REA,brother of DIAS(jupiter) and POSEIDON(neptune).God of the dead and their shadows.he was the kidnaper of PERSEFONY,(daughter of DHMHTRA).he also had the following names;HADES(ΑΔΗΣ),HEDONEYS(ΑΙΔΩΝΕΥΣ),SCOTIOS(ΣΚΟΤΙΟΣ),PERIKLYMENOS(ΠΕΡΙΚΛΥΜΕΝΟΣ),SARAPIS(ΣΑΡΑΠΗΣ),EYVOULES(ΕΥΒΟΥΛΕΥΣ)HISODAITE(ΙΣΟΔΑΙΤΗΣ).the name HADES wasn't only one of the names of PLUTO but one of the names for the underworld
m8 get your facts staight ... i do know my own mythology and my own 12 ancient olympic gods. google some more ... Romans and the Roman empire adopted the greek gods as the roman empire conquered the Greeks in 146 bc.
The name u mentioned above are all names of Greek gods as changes by Romans.
For ex, Jupiter is Zeus ,Venus is Afrodite ,Mercury is Hermis and Neptun is Posidon .
ok lets leave it to that. All i was saying is that the the Greek name is the name heavily remember by the public as the origin of the planetary names .
I aint saying that Greek gods dont have predecessors ...course they do ... its in human nature to do such things.
@zealotkill Pluto was named after the Roman god of the underworld Pluto (who is the equivalent of the Greek god Hades). You obviously have no understanding of Roman mythology. While the deities had greek equivalents, the names are still of the Roman gods... Venetia Burney herself suggested the name Pluto because of her interest in ROMAN mythology..

its totally logical and since we are still discovering other pluto-like objects in the kuiper belt, it's necessary to rethink pluto's "status", else we would have about 15 planets or so (dunno the exact number of already discovered pluto-like objects)
so pluto is now a dwarf planet along with those other objects and, funny enough, the biggest asteriod in our solarsystem called ceres...
@iSynOSX What happens when the moon is almost the same size as the planet? Which is the moon? And anyway, if you took every object out there with the characteristics of Pluto and called it a planet, we'd have hundreds or thousands of things called planets with no separate classification for the obviously different things that are actually planets.
@Ormaaj let me use your own words to answer that, "Almost the same size" well if it is ALMOST the same size that would mean that it is still SMALLER. Which one is the planet and which is the moon? refer to previous answer. and I was unaware that we had masses orbiting the same star we do that have moons orbiting around it, I always assumed that was called a PLANET.
There are also smaller objects that have moons orbiting them. There is one asteroid (I had to look up the name), it's called Ida and its moon is called Dactyl. The length of Ida is only about 54 km. The question is, should we consider that one a planet too because it has a moon? I guess it's sort of a matter of preference how to classify things. But there are other reasons why astronomers choose to classify things as dwarf planets, etc.
Oh no! This means Drake's equation must be revised!
The estimated average of planets per system should shift from 4.5, to 4.
By demoting Pluto to a Kuiper belt object... you have exterminated several advanced hypothetical sentient civilizations in our Milky Way! You monsters!
@L00NGB00W We don't base that part of the equation on how many planets are in our solar system but how many planets are in any given solar system in our galaxy. Changing how many planets are in our solar system will not change the average for the entire galaxy.
@TheArmo1 no, she looks irish, maybe italian, some polish, or perhaps czech with some gypsy ancestory and an armenian grandmother on her father's side...
The real problem is that there are lot of other things like Pluto out there, some larger than Pluto.
Unless you wanna say we have dozens of planets, you have to say we have 8. Since these small outer bodies, like Pluto, all have the same sort of quirks as Pluto, it makes more sense to just classify them differently and group Pluto into that new classification.
@InB4Desu Pluto is strange in many ways, but classifying it the wrong way is bad. It's current classification is simply wrong. It's orbit is strange, but in the orbital way it does not belong in Kupier belt. There might be a lot more objects like Pluto in the Kupier belt, but they are in the belt, the Pluto is not.
Also, debating and voting is not scientific method. The "Get over it" part was from BBC's documentary watch?v=90TWpYkMj0I
I thought I read somewhere that it got reclassified again. As a Plutoid! :D Which I think it the better idea, if it can't be a planet then it might as well become the first of entirely new classification. So all those Kuiper (sp?) belt objects should now be called Plutoids.

If it is silly and makes no difference why demote it ?
A small object spinning around the sun with its small moon, far beyond that of our planets in the cold lonely, dark space. Its one connection being one of 9 planets so it was not truly alone, it had a family and belonged. So we kick it out of the door and disown it, mock it, belittle it.
Maybe if scientist did attach more emotion to science more people would become interested ?

@whaaful: Not really. Definitions are important in science, and it was time that the AAU defined what a planet was, particularly as there are known Kuiper objects larger than Pluto. Sentimentality be damned.
Romans and greeks do not have the same origins. Greeks come from Tribes Such as Dorians Ionians And Corinthians that descented from north europe(indo-european) and Romans come from Etrusks another different "tribe" that inhabited north italy. Later on when the greek civilization flourished and commerce expanded greeks brought their worshipping whereever they went. Thats how etrusks and later on romans were influenced.
youre a goddamned idiot then krotidas, get an education before you go saying that latin and greek people dont share a common origin. do you know a damn thing about indo-europeans at all? etruscans were an isolated culture and spoke a language isolate, they were in no way indo-european, which is why to this day their language has never been fully deciphered. go and learn your history you fool before you make yourself look more like an idiot than you already have.
i never said that greeks were the same as romans, i said they shared a common origin, both culturally and genetically, and therefore had the same gods with different names because of this shared origin. just dont go saying that romans stole greek gods, because while it is true that they adopted a lot of the mythology that evolved in greek religion over time concering their commonly shared gods, they did not steal gods from greeks or celts or persians or germans, they all shared the same gods.
actually the romans and greeks worshipped the same gods since they are both indo-european, and over time as the different tribes migrated around their language changed along with culture and mythology...jupiter = zeus pater = sky father
well then dont say that these are greek gods that were later worshipped by the romans, since the romans worshipped the same gods as the greeks did but with different names, ie latin instead of greek names, and these gods are also the same that are still worshipped in hinduism, etc...just makes you look like a dick mate
actually romans were worshipping the same gods as the greeks were before both of them were civilizations, back when they were fierce nomadic warriors of the southern russian steppe and over the course of a number of migrations the original indo-european culture diversified and spread over most of europe, central asia, south asia, and asia minor. the greek gods and the roman gods were the same just as the roman gods were the same as the aryan gods etc since they were the same peoples originally
It's the fact that it is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity and is not a satellite, but has not cleared its neighboring region of planetesimals.
Thanks bird. youre fit. ANYWAY>>> it suggests teh idea that rather than stravelling to other stars to find other planets, us humans could build a new planet abit further than the earth my sending many large kuiper bodies closer to the sun, byu choosing ones with water and the right chemicals.
@flutist218: Go watch "The Pluto Files" on the NOVA site. Neil Tyson started the debate by leaving Pluto out of a display of the planets, causing a furor among school kids. In a clever production piece Neil drives to Streator, IL where Clyde Tombaugh grew up, and goes into the local barber shop to get a shave. He asks how the locals feel about Pluto as the barber has the straight razor to his neck, and they start mumbling about what they'll do when they catch that city guy who dissed Clyde...
Nope, Their orbits actually don't intersect but instead pluto's orbit is inclined away from the plane containing Neptune's orbit. They only look as if they intersect if you look at the plane from one side of it.
@Paxmax: No. At the point where they cross, Pluto is high above the plane of Neptune's orbit. (like, 20 degrees or so). See the diagrams on the wikipedia page for "pluto".
Yeah, I agree. There's also a great video on YouTube from AtGoogleTalks of Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about Pluto and other comic quandaries. Well worth the watch...

BurtonRGA7 1 year ago
in 2005 astronomers discovered another celestial body even farther out than pluto that is even bigger than pluto - they called it eris.
since that conference of the IAU, celestial bodies need to meet 3 requirements to be called planets:
1. the body must orbit a star (and mustn't be a star or moon)
2. the body must have enough mass for gravity to form it roughly spherical
3. the body must have cleared its orbit of any other objects
for pluto the first 2 apply, the third one not.

Greeks come from Tribes Such as Dorians Ionians And Corinthians that descented from north europe(indo-european) and Romans come from Etrusks another different "tribe" that inhabited north italy. Later on when the greek civilization flourished and commerce expanded greeks brought their worshipping whereever they went. Thats how etrusks and later on romans were influenced.

youre a goddamned idiot then krotidas, get an education before you go saying that latin and greek people dont share a common origin. do you know a damn thing about indo-europeans at all? etruscans were an isolated culture and spoke a language isolate, they were in no way indo-european, which is why to this day their language has never been fully deciphered. go and learn your history you fool before you make yourself look more like an idiot than you already have.

i never said that greeks were the same as romans, i said they shared a common origin, both culturally and genetically, and therefore had the same gods with different names because of this shared origin. just dont go saying that romans stole greek gods, because while it is true that they adopted a lot of the mythology that evolved in greek religion over time concering their commonly shared gods, they did not steal gods from greeks or celts or persians or germans, they all shared the same gods.

actually the romans and greeks worshipped the same gods since they are both indo-european, and over time as the different tribes migrated around their language changed along with culture and mythology...jupiter = zeus pater = sky father

Krotidas 2 years ago
well then dont say that these are greek gods that were later worshipped by the romans, since the romans worshipped the same gods as the greeks did but with different names, ie latin instead of greek names, and these gods are also the same that are still worshipped in hinduism, etc...just makes you look like a dick mate

Romans=Later civilization than the greeks.
Greek Goods=Later worshipped by the romans.
Simple Logic.
Krotidas 2 years ago
actually romans were worshipping the same gods as the greeks were before both of them were civilizations, back when they were fierce nomadic warriors of the southern russian steppe and over the course of a number of migrations the original indo-european culture diversified and spread over most of europe, central asia, south asia, and asia minor. the greek gods and the roman gods were the same just as the roman gods were the same as the aryan gods etc since they were the same peoples originally

I am not trying to say that these gods were different but what i am trying to say that they were originally worshipped by the greeks.

Isn't Pluto just an exceptionally large comet?
Envergure 2 years ago
I think that the range of its orbit, distance from the sun, and composition prevents it from being called a comet.
rwcabrera 2 years ago
It's the fact that it is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity and is not a satellite, but has not cleared its neighboring region of planetesimals.

Thanks bird. youre fit. ANYWAY>>> it suggests teh idea that rather than stravelling to other stars to find other planets, us humans could build a new planet abit further than the earth my sending many large kuiper bodies closer to the sun, byu choosing ones with water and the right chemicals.
okay ill get on the case. who has some jetpacks.

@flutist218: Go watch "The Pluto Files" on the NOVA site. Neil Tyson started the debate by leaving Pluto out of a display of the planets, causing a furor among school kids. In a clever production piece Neil drives to Streator, IL where Clyde Tombaugh grew up, and goes into the local barber shop to get a shave. He asks how the locals feel about Pluto as the barber has the straight razor to his neck, and they start mumbling about what they'll do when they catch that city guy who dissed Clyde...

I wonder... if pluto and neptune's orbit intersects... can they collide in the future?
Paxmax 2 years ago 3
Nope, Their orbits actually don't intersect but instead pluto's orbit is inclined away from the plane containing Neptune's orbit. They only look as if they intersect if you look at the plane from one side of it.

@Paxmax: No. At the point where they cross, Pluto is high above the plane of Neptune's orbit. (like, 20 degrees or so). See the diagrams on the wikipedia page for "pluto".
