Is Pluto a Planet?
« on: April 08, 2011, 05:07:32 pm »
I can understand the reasoning behind "why" it was no longer a planet, but there's still been a great deal of debate on WHAT a planet is, and whether or not Pluto is a planet.  At least this is the last that I heard...

no, it has been proven that pluto is even smaller then we thought and most of its mass is ice and therefore it no longer qualifies as a planet but see that sucks big time so um no pluto is a planet now and forever.

In my mind it's still a planet - probably because the only way I can remember all of the planets is to list the Senshi in my head XD - but I know on paper that it's not, and there are solid reasons for that. Still, it's kind of depressing...my childhood...D:

Well, I for one say that there has yet to be anything said to disqualify Pluto from being a planet.  In fact, here's some things that I got from NASA:

"Today, Pluto is called a "dwarf planet." A dwarf planet orbits the sun just like other planets, but it is smaller. A dwarf planet is so small it cannot clear other objects out of its path."

"Pluto is also called a plutoid. A plutoid is a dwarf planet that is farther out in space than the planet Neptune. The three known plutoids are Pluto, Eris and Makemake (MAH-kee-MAH-kee). Astronomers use telescopes to discover new objects like plutoids."

So, it sounds like NASA considers Pluto to be a planet, just a smaller version of one.

There is a bigger planet farther out than Pluto. They've found it not by seeing it, but by the fact it occludes stars. It throws comets at us every once in a while to say hello.

Dwarf planets are a recently developed classification which Pluto now fits under. It's its own classification because they kept discovering more objects beyond Pluto that fit their current definition of a planet, and decided that they needed a more refined definition. In refining their definition, scientists decided on three things planets had to do - orbit a sun, have enough gravity to pull itself into a sphere, and be able to "clear its orbit" of any objects close to its size. Dwarf planets can't do the last part, and so Pluto no longer qualifies.

I bugged my physics teacher into explaining it to me last year.

Basically, another planetary object was found, and certain scientists were like, "YEEES ANOTHER PLANET." But other scientists were like, "lolno. it's too small, bro." So the pro-new planet scientists were like, "But Pluto is smaller!" And that sparked the "Is Pluto REALLY a planet?" debate.

The ending result was Pluto not being a planet anymore, because there's other objects about its size or larger that don't get to be planets.

Ffff I think every Sailor Moon fan ever is going to deny it to the end of our days.  Pluto is still technically a planet...kind of...does this mean I can make fan-characters for all the other dwarf planets?

I'm a huge moon fan, and I acknowledge that it's not a planet. I was a bit upset, but you've got to admit, that astronomers and astrophysicists argue about this stuff is not only hilarious it's fascinating.

Part of the reason it's not is because, as it was mentioned, Pluto isn't big enough to clear it's orbit of debri and the like. Another reason is in 2003 Eris was discovered. Eris is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt where Pluto is located. It is bigger than Pluto. Had Pluto been kept as a planet, Eris probably would have been named the tenth planet even though it's orbit is even more jacked up than Pluto's.

I feel it's important to note that Ceres was upgraded from asteroid to Dwarf planet as well, thus making Cera Cera the best out of the Amazoness Quartet.

If you want to argue that Pluto is still a planet, you better argue that the Apatosaurus is really a Brontosaurus, the Pterodactyl isn't a Pterosaur, and that the Triceratops isn't just a juvenile Torosaurus. Better work on that last one quick since it's likely but not official.

Well, I meant that a dwarf planet is still a planet (because it is, as far as I understand it) but it's a smaller subcategory. That's how I've always heard it. It's a bit like squares and rectangles - all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

...I could be completely wrong about this, though.

Makes sense to me! If scientists wanted to differentiate more, trust me. They would. Look at it this way, all the planets are normal, but Pluto, Eris, and Ceres are chibi form.

Great way of phrasing it, but now you've got me imagining (Planetary) Axis Powers: Solar System. With Romi Park (Edward Elric's VA) voicing the part of Pluto.  ;)

I saw so.  In fact, I'm currently working on a fanfic in which the characters make a fan-based Sailor Moon movie in which the Asteroid Belt has a character (based off of the theory that it was at once a planet called Ceres).

I've already started designing Sailor Eris. Fan-characters are fuuuun~...as long as they're not Sues.

That thing about the Asteroid belt is cool, I'd never heard that before.

(Edit because I can't type, apparently.)

I will. Only now I'm starting to ~get inspired~ to do this AU fanfic thing in which Pluto is leading a group of Senshi based on the other dwarf planets for some reason, and...D: Do not have tiiiiime...

You should totally do one! You're a great artist, I'd love to see what you come up with.

It helps that a great deal of space missions fail anyway. Can't remember the exact percentage, but it's a significant amount.

Also, without the bailouts, those companies would have crashed and the economy with them.

Space isn't cheap, and it doesn't take but one for it to be monumental. Mostly it's the missions to Mars that have a high fail rate.

wow there, hold up, now your just getting stereotypical. every since involved person I know is a hardcore democrat. I would love to continue on this subject (debate makes me happy) but thats not the topic of this forum......getting back to the Pluto thing. Pluto is a dwarf planet and where I would love to say that we will be jumping to explore it and so on, as was said earlier our technology is waaaaaaay far off from there and we aren't even starting the MARS project yet which would have taken 1000 years in estimate and NASA said thats more of a minimum....

Well yeah since we're spending all our money on war and bailouts (Sorry if I offend anyone, this is just my view)

No. The president decided to cancel any future development by NASA for the foreseeable future. He needed to gut something that most Democrats don't care about. And since all the space based industries are in the Deep South, it fit his agenda perfectly.

wow there, hold up, now your just getting stereotypical. every since involved person I know is a hardcore democrat. I would love to continue on this subject (debate makes me happy) but thats not the topic of this forum......getting back to the Pluto thing. Pluto is a dwarf planet and where I would love to say that we will be jumping to explore it and so on, as was said earlier our technology is waaaaaaay far off from there and we aren't even starting the MARS project yet which would have taken 1000 years in estimate and NASA said thats more of a minimum....
I'm a hardcore democrat and I think we should cut space funding for right now. Education and health care need that money.  :-\

Now, on-topic: I joke about how Pluto is still a planet IN MY HEART and about how I had to memorize it as part of the planets in third grade so it should still be a planet, but it's just a joke. Pluto shouldn't be considered a planet anymore, not if we can't add the other dwarf planets as real planets too.

mhm, I personally agree which is why as fascinating as I found the mars project and as existed as it made me I was willing to let it go. I was however disappointed that obama let go of some of the very important things very early on in the health care bill and......um...once again, sorry, off topic...maybe I should make a political topic?

Moderate Democrat and we should cut Defense. Have you seen the budget? I think we can spare some money. It's stupid-huge.

@Wash: You maybe be flamed/trolled by some Otaku Senshi fans if you make her a boy, since Naoko Takeuchi said so herself that only girls can be Senshi after she saw that the Three Lights were changed to males in the anime

Well, the idea that I had was a crossover with The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, in which they make their own live-action movie.  I'm thinking about giving Haruhi a little bit more knowledge of the series than what I have (with Chan helping me out with that), and any expert knowledge could be chimed in by a different character.  The reason why I said "male" was because I had randomly selected who was going to be what characters and (this is the honest truth) Kyon was selected to be the main bad guy.  At the time, I had no idea what I was going to do, but when I first came up with the idea of a Ceres, my idea was that he would be something more like an evil-Tuxedo-Mask-type than an evil-sailor-scout-type.  I can also see Haruhi not caring, since many live action movies usually disregard many facts from a franchise in order to meet their movie goals.

...maybe I could have the villian be Haley's Comet?

Don't see why not, but it'd have to be a fast working one. Haley's Comet only comes around every 76 years. It was last here in 1986 and won't come back until 2061.
