    I read on the news today that NASA's Voyager 1, having been out of contact with Earth for months, is finally back in contact! I had a "HELL YEAH!" moment I must admit. NASA staff discovered that a portion of the subsystem's memory wasn't working, rendering the data useless. Unfortunately, the team couldn't simply store the affected code in other parts of the memory, since the code was too large to be stored in its entirety elsewhere - after all, these systems date back to the early 1970s. So the team came up with a clever solution: they started slicing up the affected code into sections and stored them in various places across the FDS. (That's not a quick process: Voyager 1 is currently over 15 billion miles away, which means it takes a signal a total of 45 hours to make its way to the probe and back.) They're going to spend the next several weeks fixing this little probe that we sent out 50 years ago.. I LOVE news like this! I can't wait to see what we learn from 15 billion miles away!

    To everyone who says that Pluto is a planet, they are correct. Pluto is a planet because it has a differentiated crust from it's own gravity, it's just a minor planet because it doesn't significantly alter the path of other objects in its orbit. Minor planet status can actually have nothing to do with a planet's actual size.

    When I first came to the Sol system a long time ago Pluto was the very first planet I met and really got to know. But as young star crossed lovers often do, we eventually went our separate ways and I moved on to the inner planets. Even though Pluto and I have grew further apart as the years went by, I will always remember her fondly as my first true planet. And I don't give a damn what Neil DeGrasse Tyson says - she will always be a planet to me!

    Yes, Pluto is a planet. Just because some jokers at the IAU voted that it isn't has no basis in actual science. Nobody questioned that it was a planet until we started finding a lot more objects out there in the solar system that could potentially be planets too. And for whatever reason that was considered a "bad" thing. So they drew the line at Pluto, coming up with criteria designed specifically to disqualify Pluto. It's pretty stupid really. Most actual astronomers I've talked to about it still consider it a planet (I'm an amateur astronomer so I bump into real ones now and again).
    The IAU doesn't speak for all of humanity.

    The term dwarf planet still has the word planet in it.

    • @lunatickoala
      @lunatickoala 15 дней назад +25

      Which is an idiotic situation, and just goes to show that the whole debate and definition was a farce driven more by ideology than good science. The term "planet" is a relic from Ancient Greece when the best observational tools anyone had was the Mk.1 Eyeball and all that anyone knew about them was that they appeared to wander in the sky relative to the celestial sphere. The definition of "planet" wasn't driven by a desire to classify sub-stellar bodies in the best possible way but to preserve the ancient planets and (depending on faction) whether to include or exclude Pluto.
      Most astronomers probably didn't care all that much how "planet" was defined so long as it was, but of the vocal ones who did, some were hellbent on preserving the planetary status of Pluto even if that meant being more inclusive, and the side that won out were hellbent on excluding Pluto even if that meant calling it a dwarf planet but insisting that dwarf planets aren't planets. Dwarf stars are still very much stars, otherwise the sun wouldn't be one.
      So now we have a category which includes Ceres and Pluto which are nothing alike, and a category which includes Mercury and Jupiter, which are nothing alike. And Mercury, Ceres, and Ganymede which are much more similar than either of the previous pairs, all in different categories. Plus, the definition can't handle rogue planets.

      When they found Ceres, they made it a planet... but then they found the rest of the asteroid belt... so they got all the astronomers together, had a vote and demoted it to an asteroid. The Pluto vote was much the same, only that with the "dwarf" category, Ceres is now a "planet" again.

      If we admitted Pluto as a planet, we'd have to admit that the pluto-charon system is a double planet, that Vesta is a planet, that a whole bunch of kuiper belt objects are planets, and some people are really, really attached to their notion of the solar system having 8-9 planets because it fits neatly on a school poster so they don't want to admit that the solar system is an absolute junk pile of planets big and small. So, Pluto isn't a planet and we have no good word to discuss bodies sufficiently large in mass to form a rounded body that primarily orbits the sun rather than another, larger body.

      Yeah, it's almost like categorizations are only useful when they help people... you know, categorize things neatly? Clearly, a dwarf planet shouldn't be in the same category as an actual planet. There's a lot of differences for orbits, formation, size, etc. that make it very useful to categorize these objects differently.
      It would be absurd to pretend as if some far-away Kuiper-belt object belongs to the same category as Jupiter or Earth, or even Mercury (small as it is, the fact it is a stand-alone object in an otherwise cleared orbit is a significant difference that warrants a different category from things like Pluto - or moons like Titan which is actually larger than both but orbiting a planet rather than a star).

      There's a huge difference between the gas giants and terrestrial planets and it's absurd to compare the two, which is why we have two completely different categories for them. Most gas giants don't even have a solid surface in any meaningful sense. And yet these two wildly different sorts of bodies are both considered planets, because they are circular and orbit the sun, so it's useful to describe them that way.
      But not kuiper belt objects, or rounded objects that happen to be in asteroid fields. Because reasons. Even though they very similar in many ways to terrestrial planets.

      @@danieldover3745 Categories are there to help organize knowledge. You can go ahead and tell people to think of all dwarf planets as the same as planets, but that obviously would overload the category, and people would just use other words to clarify what they actually mean (maybe "major planets" versus "minor planets" or whatever linguistic system one could imagine).
      The reality is that dwarf planets are so much less significant to the formation and organization of a star system (by definition, as they have not significantly cleared their orbit / aren't the major influencing force within their orbit), so they get put into a different category. And, just to note, the boundary between gas giants and terrestrial planets can be rather fluid (in some cases, it's just a question of accumulation of gas, and formation history - yes, visually and "practically" they are very different - but from a standpoint of star system organization, dwarf planets play a minor role, while planets are much more similar in their roles).

      Pluto takes 248 years for 1 orbit. The next furthest out, Neptune, is 165years. Compared to the Earth Pluto has had 1/248th the time to clear it's orbit objects. So it's not really about size, it's about time in this case. Size is not completely unrelated, but it's more about mass.
