Pluto may not be big enough to fit your definition of a planet; but she has big heart, which is arguably more important.

Pluto sucks anyway

When I was a kid, Pluto was a planet.
Now that I'm an adult. Pluto is still a planet.

>>8837811
Childhood is thinking pluto is a planet, adulthood is realizing that Neil Degrassi Tyson makes sense

>>8837678
I agree that there's no good non-historical reason why Pluto should be a planet, but the IAU definition of a planet is pretty dumb.

Pluto and Charon are a Binary dwarf planet system.


the barycenter is between them instead of inside the bigger object. so they wobble around that point.

>>8837678
Mike Brown, just stop.

>>8837678
Personally I'm for making Pluto a planet again. Not by changing the definition of planet to fit pluto though. I think we can all agree that destroying Neptune and all the Kuiper Belt objects so that Pluto fits the definition will end the debate and make everyone happy.

>>8837678
Who cares what the label is

It's still out there, nothing happened to it

>>8838279
Charon is a mass relay though.

>>8837787
this. pluto is a literal piece of shitty rock. the only reason normies get angry about it is because they're too stupid to think about all the other cool complicated shit

Only fucking site I can find of people being unironically this mad about Pluto not being classified as a planet. Jesus.

>>8839356
Just google Alan Stern.

>>8837710
Pluto's size qualifies as a planet, it's Pluto's orbit that created the debate.

>>8837678
Pluto is a planet.

Pleas stop believing n what CNN tells you.

>>8837678
Pluto has been observed several times and NASA has pictures of it. Just because your shitty telescope can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Only brainlets and flat-earth morons claim that it doesn't exist.

Americans want to jerk themselves off to the idea that they discovered a planet, but it just won't work. Try again sweetie.

>>8840243
That is a matter of who finds Planet Nine first.

>>8837678

But what is Eris

Pluto is a planet because there is no good reason for it not to be.

>>8839787
I saw a few months back a nice proposal to make anything big enough to assume a more-or-less sphere an official planet -- we have over 100, by that definition.

Just think, all the excitement when some dwarf star has maybe 5 planets, and we suddenly have a hundred!

>>8838529
This. Don't just yell at scientists to get your way, take the proactive route. Destroy everything that keeps it from being a planet.

Besides a better understanding of what our solar system is, and that Pluto and its brethren in the Kuiper belt are a different family of objects from the 8 planets.

>>8839787
Uh, no, the IAU was just fine with it being a planet until Eris et al were discovered, and they were like "Aw, hell, naw" so they changed the definition of what a planet was to keep the number artificially low.

"planet" is not as well-defined and sharply-delineated a concept as we once thought, deal with it.

>>8841790
Actually it is, hydrostatic equilibrium and orbiting a sun.

The debate is if their location in a solar system and interaction with other objects in a solar system should be part of the qualifier.

>>8841839
>Actually it is, hydrostatic equilibrium and orbiting a sun.
How many planets are there in our Solar system?

>>8841913
Either 8 or ~110 at current count.

>>8837799
Is Eris a planet?
Is Ceres a planet?

dude my dad is from pluto if pluto isnt a planet then why am i alive?
