@KurdstanPlanetarium i definately agree with you. "pluto should be with its own kind" he says, *scoff* give me a bloody break neil tyson! pluto has every right to be in the solar system. he is full of BS.

Clyde Tobmaugh is the real Hero of Pluto and Neil Tyson became the villain of Astronomy...

Shame on you Neil Tyson trying to steal others glory..

go discover an onbject, a small Asteroid most probably if you can as you are not the man to discover a Planet like Clyde Tombaugh did.

your name will be cursed whenever Pluto's name is mentioned, live with it and die with it, you deserve it

if we come to another solar system and inhabit a binary system, how will we define those bodies? would they be considered planets?

[MisterMatthewRoberts]

noonscience, this is nonsense.

Anything NASA says should be taken with a shaker of salt!

it, need to seek psychiatric help,

cause the concept is so unimportant and is pure a psychological idea.

pluto is pluto, and....period. And i love pluto more then many others,

how can a name label hurt your feelings,

i really cant absorb any of these cry babys opinions, its based upon the judge of a court debate, W0000w thats real important to the world.........not.

[Armigo91]

importance to you.

The day it was declassified i was like, oh ye right,.......move on.

And some high schooled nasa employees are bragging about the label we give it.

What does such a debate cost, several thousands of dollars, is that were my tax money goes to.

And were amazed we live in a economic crisis.

such useless, acts (debate) or additions to that crisis.

nobody cares about what name we give a oversized asteroid. planet or dwarf planet.

those people that do care or even cry for

[Armigo91]

dwarf planet or regular planet, for whatever reason. Pluto is circling the sun, end of story, and it will do in its current shape and form, until i die. So to my conciousness pluto is a planet and will remain one.

Then...........

"planet" or "dwarfplanet" is a name, (a label) a definition by humans.

how can you care about what name you give it, it doesnt physically affect pluto so why care or even whine about it.

that resonated psychological disability if that principal is to any
