pluto isn't really a planet.


we really have 8 planets.

2/12/2006 3:13:10 AM

is that including your mom?

2/12/2006 3:35:06 AM

^^why?

2/12/2006 4:53:28 AM

Dammit, now I have to come up with a new way to remember my planets! Couldn't they at least give the 10th one a P name in case they decide to reclassify Pluto?

2/12/2006 7:29:18 AM

I'm just waiting until the debate of what to name it comes up.

personally i'm voting for "buck hunk of ice nobody is ever going to see with their naked eye"

2/12/2006 10:03:46 AM

the real planets should be Greco-roman gods, and the smaller father out satellites should be demigods/heros with names from the same mythology.

2/12/2006 11:23:08 PM

yeah, when i was little i tried to come up with a name for a 10th planet and thought persephone would be a good choice b/c it's from mythology and relates to pluto.

then i read some arthur c. clarke novel where he named the 10th planet that and i was like "you fucking homo you stole my idea"

but he is an old fat-ass that wears hawaiian shirts.

Persephone is just as tied to the earth goddess Demeter as she is to Hades (Pluto) I believe. Still it seems like a more sensible name than other heavenly bodies. I definitely think we should stick with our tradition of naming celestial bodies after Greco-roman gods.

I was raised Christian, but I am just fine with not calling any planets Jesus, Yahweh, Satan, Michael, or any other religions gods/demigods.

The official name of Earth is actually Terra. The planet that is embedded within Earth is usually called Theia(the collision formed the moon ~4bya, according to the best guesses).

bill gates should give nasa a billion dollars and name the planet "Microsoft"

2/15/2006 10:38:18 PM

its my understand that a international astronomy agency names all planets and stars...

& then there are the random companys from which you can pay to have a start named after someone, but that name is only as far as the company is concerned, and its not necessary that they sell people different stars. nasa & other space agencies and even hobby astronomers will never use these names.
