Honey, I Shrunk the Solar System
August 24, 2006
Media contact: Jane Platt/JPL

If you woke up Thursday morning and sensed something was different
about
the world around you, you're absolutely right. Pluto is no longer a
planet.
The International Astronomical Union, wrapping up its meeting in
Prague,
Czech Republic, has resolved one of the most hotly-debated topics in
the
cosmos by approving a specific definition that gives our solar system
eight planets, instead of the nine most of us grew up memorizing.
NASA has already visited all eight planets that retain their official
title: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
Neptune.
In addition, the agency has its New Horizons spacecraft en route to
Pluto, which the astronomical union has designated as the prototype for
a new class of celestial objects, to be called "dwarf planets."
"NASA will, of course, use the new guidelines established by the
International Astronomical Union," said Dr. Paul Hertz, Chief Scientist
for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters. "We will
continue pursuing exploration of the most scientifically interesting
objects in the solar system, regardless of how they are categorized."
Ceres, which orbits in a belt between Mars and Jupiter and is the
largest known asteroid, is one of those interesting objects. In 2007,
NASA will launch the Dawn spacecraft on a mission to study Ceres, which
the astronomers have placed in the dwarf planet category, alongside
Pluto. The dwarf planet family also includes 2003 UB313, nicknamed
"Xena." When Dr. Mike Brown of Caltech and his colleagues announced
last
summer that they'd discovered the object, which is bigger and farther
away than Pluto, many astronomers decided it was time to figure out
once
and for all, "What exactly is a planet, anyway?"
Here's how it all shakes out. The International Astronomical Union has
decided that, to be called a planet, an object must have three traits.
It must orbit the sun, be massive enough that its own gravity pulls it
into a nearly round shape, and be dominant enough to clear away objects
in its neighborhood.
To be admitted to the dwarf planet category, an object must have only
two of those traits -- it must orbit the sun and have a nearly round
shape. And no, moons don't count as dwarf planets. In addition to
Pluto,
Ceres and 2003 UB313, the astronomical union has a dozen potential
"dwarf planets" on its watchlist.
What's to become of the other objects in our solar system neighborhood,
the ones that are not planets, not dwarf planets and not moons? The
organization has decided that most asteroids, comets and other small
objects will be called "small solar-system bodies."
Despite the establishment of these three distinct categories, there are
bound to be gray areas. As technologies improve and more objects are
found, the International Astronomical Union will set up a process to
decide which of the three categories are most appropriate for specific
objects.
Even before the discovery of Xena, not all was calm in the planetary
world. There was debate after Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930.
With its small size, distant location and odd orbit, some questioned
whether Pluto was really a planet or just an icy remnant of the
planet-forming process.
That issue has been resolved by the International Astronomical Union.
Among those most keenly following the debate -- Mike Brown, who has
been
awaiting word on Pluto and the object he found, Xena.
"I'm of course disappointed that Xena will not be the tenth planet, but
I definitely support the IAU in this difficult and courageous
decision,"
said Brown. "It is scientifically the right thing to do, and is a great
step forward in astronomy."
Although the revamping of our solar system might seem unsettling, it's
really nothing new. In fact, when Ceres was first discovered in 1801,
it
was called a planet, as were several similar objects found later. But
when the count kept on growing, astronomers decided "enough is enough,"
and they demoted Ceres and its siblings, placing them in a new
category,
called asteroids.
The International Astronomical Union has been naming planets and moons
since its founding in 1919. For more information, visit the
International Astronomical Union home page at www.iau.org
or www.iau2006.org .
If they want Pluto to get more respect, they should change its name to
the Greek equivalent, Hades!

Yeah, I'll bet they'll be wrapping up and getting out of town as
quickly as possible!
Shouldn't there be seven dwarfs?

Someday Ceres's planethood will be restored. The Ceresians will be
sure of that!

Maybe the Seans have been hanging out on Ceres. It's a nice
inconspicuous place to lay low, waiting for troubles on Earth to simmer
down. No prying space probes in the vicinity (until next year). A
nice way station between the inner planets and the outer solar system.
Seans may be rubbing elboes with Greys in the interplanetary atmosphere
of the spaceport lounge.
Yeah, we can name the distant space dwarfs after coffee bois, and then
perhaps buy them one-way tickets to go visit them! Hopefully there
won't be Internet service out there for a few thousand years.

So eventually, when the Moon moves far enough away, Earth will
cease to be a planet.

This is a disrespectful way to treat our friend in distant space.
Earth and Pluto have long coexisted in peace and harmony, and to
declare our fellow solar body a "Dwarf Planet" is unacceptable and
undignified.
Tell the International Astronomical Union (IAU) that you demand Justice
For Pluto.
Old planets never die,
They just get reclassified by the IAU.
At least they could have called it a "dimensionally challenged" planet!

That would be logical Commander for such an advanced race to
remain positioned relatively safely away from piercing radio Earth eyes.
Bones did indicate that they were close but hidden away from our
capability of finding them right now. The Seans have also indicated they
do not like the Greys interplanetary poaching activities and are duty
sworn to capture them on sight. Only Officer Greysky right now can
breach their comm silent cloaking with his faster then light super
sensitive buffers and anti jamming low quantum frequency modulations.
And sure why should the coffee bois be so lucky and be left out of the
fun of the naming of wandering space bodies, they earned it with their
random no substance iterations. Then future school children generations
can laugh at the apparent senseless naming of each far out space body
just like the auk boys do now. Remember we here in alt.astronomy give
credit where credit is due.

My, my, my, why wasn't the Captain informed of this number one,
it's getting preposterous with all this name changing going on! The IAU
must have been infiltrated by Grey influenced auk coffee boys disguised
as astronomer wannabes since they try to pass themselves off as us
anyway. This tom foolery must stop, we can't have planets being named
turds, please the Uranus jokes were enough.
as you were,

There is a lot of truth in that. There are really only four "major"
planets in this solar system, and Earth is not one of them.
Double-A
But I thought Ceres might be sort of a neutrality twilight zone like
WWII time Switzerland, where sworn enemies had their offices on the
same street and would bump into each other in all the establishments.
Double-A
I don't know, nightbat. I read that out of 2500 delegates, only 300
voted on the proposal to demote Pluto! Where were all the others?
Being detained by those dastardly Greys?

No such luck Commander those were the good old days when
soldiers honored neutral spaces now it's all kill or capture on sight.
The enemy within has to be rooted out and apparently the Seans are
trying their best.

Most likely being served tainted coffee Commander that put most
of them to sleep no doubt, oh the humanity! The 300 that voted most
likely were the ones disguised as astronomers but in reality were coffee
boys themselves for who in their right mind would demote our Pluto, oh
mercy! And then recommending calling the new planets turds come on it
smacks of coffee boy shenanigans all the way. Goofiness and silliness
gone amuck for sure. Let's hope the rest of the delegates wake up before
the entire solar system is renamed satellite turd moons of the Sun.

Looney Maroon nominee for August 2006 Johnny D Wentzky foamed:
"You never asked someone who goes into areas of the internet that are
only for adults who has an underage id somehow or another if they are a
cop posing as an underage person online?
I guess lots of people just don't watch dateline or read stories much.
Why don;t you go to pervertedjustice,com and see what they do. They are
awash in their self-proclaimed glory after they lied to membners of the
public.
They are awash in their self-proclaimed glory after they posed as an
underage person and agreed to do all sorts of sex acts wioth adult
males, and they are adults posing as teenager themselves. They make
themsleves into liars by falsely impersonating underage persons and by
not fuilfilling the words they tell the victims online in their chats.
Why don't you read it where they tell these victims of their deceit
about how they have been with grown men and such? Why don't you read it
where they say, "That would be cool." after someone makes an advance
towards an adult who is posing as a teenager? And, where they agree to
meet the person, etc.
Lost control, didn't you?
Is that why you feel as if you need to lie so much now? I see where lots
of these false impersonation games are not sticking. They feel as if
they can lie and then order the victims to get counseling in the
gayblade, governmental, pro-choice tax leech counseling centers. They
are doing nothing more than usury and fraud in many cases." -- Wentzky

Now I'm glad I didn't nominate the "Parking Lot Brawlers of RAMD" (George
"Fluty" Maloney, Gary Duguay, Big Rich Soprano, and Jeff Ream, among
others) for the Ministry of Circle Jerks for their threats of RL violence
and slurping by others of those making the threads and merely accepted the
UV points instead. That nomination wouldn't have had a chance of winning
against the crypto-Neonazis of soc.religion.astatru--none of those involved
on RAMD has an award, and only one has any nominations. This nomination,
however, does have a chance of unseating the people with the horned
Wehrmacht helmets, as there are a total of 20 AUK kook awards among the
three nominees. Therefore, I heartily second the nomination.

personal contact info in x-poasted subject lines:
Plenty of people post under their real names and do not attempt to hide
their contact info. You are scared of being 'outed' because you are a
pathological abuser of usenet, and people rightly despise you for it.
You're afraid of being reported to the authorities or, better, visited
by a couple of guys with baseball bats. Other people don't have this
obsessive fear. Ward Hardman himself has posted plenty of personal
information - nothing that anyone else added was hidden in any way.
You're so fucking scared you've built up this whole sick mythology about
different categories of bad dudes who 'out' scum like you.
Meanwhile you are the ugliest pigfucker in the universe. You are the
coward without ethics. You call me a 'newbie' - ha! what an asshole you
are. Those who want to remain anonymous do so. There is absolutely no
way you could identify me, not unless you had the sort of subpoena power
that only gets turned on for big-time terrorists. That's because I chose
to be anonymous. Some people don't. Only really stupid dicks like you
choose the sort of semi-anonymity which leaves you in constant fear.
What a dickless wonder you are 'Snarky' you fat asshole.

Wow, a gay lame, how unusual.

Its 3am. The light on the pole in the backyard is buzzing with
activity. Must be a thousand winged things trying to commit suicide in
the glow. Slept for a couple of hours. Might as well get up and be
miserable. Have no incentive to go out lately. Hendrix was right. "I
know what I want but I just don't know how to go about gettin' it." It
seems more real as every year passes by. All my friends are happily
married, more or less. Even though I really care about them I have
lost all desire to hang around the old crowd. They have their kids,
big time jobs and life trips to take care of. Even when I call to see
whats new or whatever I can hear so and so on the other end of the
land line doing something else and barely listening to anything I am
saying. Have I become that boring and introverted? Am I the king
recluse of all time? Must be. I really try and make an effort to get
the hell out of here and meet others but when I do they seem so busy
and tied up in their capitalistic persuits that nobody has the time
for a real relationship anymore. Especially females. On the rare
occasion that I do date it takes about thirty minutes before I will be
asked to just about supply them with a statement of my financial
worth. Is there nothing else in life except money, power and greed?
Whatever happened to that thing we used to call "love?" Yeah, thats
pretty much the life of the lonely. For what its worth, I'll keep
trying. Mabey today the sun will come out.

Art started posting from Sept. 1996 until July 1998 as the following:

You're right when he was "down" he was human. I suspect that in his waning
years he might have suffered a minor stroke that caused him to "turn bad"
and very bitter. The sad part of this is that his Ratz will follow him
right to "The End" in a few years, much like Hitler's Ratz followed him
right up till "The End". What kind of commentary is that on society and
Usenet that misfits will follow a tyrant until he's dead.

Know any "skanks" that qualify, for OLD Art Deco?
Bitter?
Perhaps ...
Regardless; both the old and the current "Art Deco" seem to share other
traits in common.
They are both compassionate, sensitive and self-restrained ( insofar
you could imagine such! ). IMO, these are desirable qualities in a
person.
As for the old "Art Deco"? ... His bitterness is strongly
self-directed. His message is carefully crafted and posted to avoid
directly hurting others.
Assuming that the old and new "Art Deco" are one-and-the-same; whatever
else one might think of Art's opinions and actions; he seems a harsher
critic of himself then he is of anyone else.
Most people don't enjoy loneliness.

I simply disagree!
The early "Deco" did self-deprecate, but the worm has turned of late and is
unfairly lashing out at others to pull them down to his level. You've heard
that
"Misery loves company", and it applies here.
*****************************************************
> Most people don't enjoy loneliness.

No doubt, but shouldn't lash out at others having fun on Usenet, out
of simple jealously. There is simply no reason to be cruel to others.
