10th Planet?

This shit has always fascinated me.

[backstop]

Is it just me, or have they discovered a "tenth planet" about 30 times?

[davel]

Exactly..........

What about Chiron.........

Or was it found not to be a planet.......

I thought Charon was Pluto's moon?

They just need to define wtf a planet is. The reality is, they don't have a friggin clue how many Pluto sized objects are between Neptune's orbit and the heliopause.

I always really liked astronomy. I'm pretty excited to see what they Huygens probe from Cassini finds on Titan.

SLU.......

Here's a quick blurb on Chiron.......It's on the scientific side......But not a bad description.......

I remember there being talk of a "Planet X" in the solar system when I was a kid.

I also remember reading somewhere that Pluto and Charon may have been moons of Neptune that somehow escaped that planet's orbit. Pretty interesting stuff.

i say call it a planet. 10 planets!!! yeah!

space is so cool.

also, on the topic of life on mars..........what if there are martians, but they're like smaller than ants, and we think we're going to see we're going to see these 5 foot tall little guys with big eyes. when actually, everytime we land one of our rovers up there, we're crushing millions of innocent martian civilians by the second.

and the martian governor doesn't know WHAT to do to stop it. he keeps getting ideas from the captain of the martian army, but the captains plans never work.

and the governor's wife is on his ass to destroy the rovers, or else she's leaving him for the hot guy who lives up the dune.

i bet that's whats happening.

Man...........What are you talking about...........???

Didn't you see "The Globe" this week.............It has pictures of a strange breed of Alien Cat that inhabits Mars.............Ants indeed..........

They can't add another planet - it will screw up all the mnemonic devises for remember the planets in order.

The new Planet is named Sedna, so they'd need another S word.
