They named a planet after me!
« on: August 16, 2006, 09:57:17 AM »
Wow, not everyone gets a planet named after them. I feel really special, though I do have to share this with that ****ing Pluto. I don't know what to say. You like me... You really like me!

Hey, is there a cash prize that goes with this?

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Pluto is not a planet.


Not according to a seven-member panel of astronomers and one science writer who apparently have the last word on the subject. Have to share the glory with Ceres and 2003UB 313 (nicknamed Xena after the Lucy Lawless character -- apparently Comic Book Guy took part in the discovery).

Sad but true. Part of the new definition of a planet is now: "Must be massive enough for its own gravity to pull it into a spherical shape..." Too much time spent sitting on my bellybutton in the past 10 years lets that hit a bit too close to home :)

Besides reaffirming the status of puny Pluto — whose detractors insist it shouldn't be a planet at all — the new lineup would include 2003 UB313, the farthest-known object in the solar system and nicknamed Xena; Pluto's largest moon, Charon; and the asteroid Ceres, which was a planet in the 1800s before it got demoted.


don't get all big headed yet :p
