Dear Friends,
Today I am extremely dissapointed that the Pluto Demoters have triumphed. I respect their opinion, but disagree with it. I strongly agree with Alan Stern's statement calling it "absurd" that only 424 astronomers were allowed to vote, out of some 10,000 professional astronomers around the globe. This tiny group is clearly not at all representative by mathematics alone. I believe we should formulate a plan to overturn this unjust decision and return Pluto to full planetary status, and as the first member of a third catagory of planets, Xena being number two. Thus a total of 10 Planets in our Solar System Please respond if you agree that Pluto should be restored as a planet. ken Ken Kremer Amateur Astronomers Association of Princeton Program Chairman |

Im in!
I dont mind if Pluto is a dwarf planet, but dwarf planets ARE planets. So please call it the fight for the dwarf planets instead of the fight for Pluto Also on my new planetology comminity site(launched yesterday); http://www.AlphaOrionis.be/ I consider dwarf planets as a type of planets just like the terrestral and giant planets. This is my way of participating in the fight for the dwarf planets. No matter what, having a dwarf planet section is never wrong on a planetology forum. |
