Why would this affect NH in any way, shape or form.
Pluto is still Pluto. Still fascinating, still unexplored, still part of a collection of bodies that we need to learn about. The silly thing about this entire episode is that it's making the news......but no one has learnt anything, no one has discovered anything, nothing has changed. Doug |

As the saying goes “There’s no such thing as bad press” The public has learnt that that the Solar-system is a much more varied and interesting place than that taught to them in school (25 years ago in may case ) and highlighted the problematic discoveries of large bodies that don’t conform to the old rules. I think it's fascinating, and I think the correct decision has been made. I am also glad that NH is on it’s way (Phew!) Nick |
