The Science Has Spoken: Pluto Will Never Be A Planet Again

“What’s perhaps most remarkable is that we can make a simple, mathematical relationship between a world’s mass and its orbital distance that can be scaled and applied to any star. If you’re above these lines, you’re a planet; if you’re below it, you’re not. Note that even the most massive dwarf planets would have to be closer to the Sun than Mercury is to reach planetary status. Note by how fantastically much each of our eight planets meets these criteria… and by how much all others miss it. And note that if you replaced the Earth with the Moon, it would barely make it as a planet.”

It was a harsh lesson in astronomy for all of us in 2006, when the International Astronomical Union released their official definition of a planet. While the innermost eight planets made the cut, Pluto did not. But given the discovery of large numbers of worlds in the Kuiper belt and beyond our Solar System, it became clear that we needed something even more than what the IAU gave us. We needed a way to look at any orbiting worlds around any star and determine whether they met a set of objective criteria for reaching planetary status. Recently, Alan Stern spoke up and introduced a geophysical definition of a planet, which would admit more than 100 members in our Solar System alone. But how does this stand up to what astronomers need to know?

As it turns out, not very well. But the IAU definition needs improving, too, and modern science is more than up to the challenge. See who does and doesn’t make the cut into true planetary status, and whether Planet Nine – if real – will make it, too!

Gou (thinking): I wonder if he's thinking about me.

Ash (thinking): When Gou says "Go!" he's like a Pokémon saying his own name.

Like OP said. A dystopian/horror movie... and I thought the Family Day was the worst thing alive, lol. The only thing left to me is staying positive and focusing on other things.

I've purposely avoided horror fiction in these days of pandemic because, you know, anxiety. However I feel the need to read horror is building up; for some reason, horror and sci-fi proved the best forms of escapism. I think it's because horror is very engrossing while sci-fi is about faraway galaxies so it does a great job taking you away from your sad current situation.

I'm still worried about the effects of reading horror on my psyche, especially because I'm pretty sure I'm repressing my feelings. I'm apparently ok but tonight I had my second quarantine dream and I woke up crying, which is something I don't remember ever happening before.

Well... I think I see myself in Gou a lot? I watched every episode at once (lol) and he grew a lot, from "we shouldn't help a bulbasaur" to helping Cubone to apologizing to an egg. I still couldn't understand the concept of "low empathy" but being able to understand he was wrong and changing, try to understand others couldn't bee seen as learning empathy?

Was looking around the tv tropes page for Journeys and it's kinda sad how biased against Gou it reads. The kid makes a mistake one that the anime clearly sees it as a mistake and something he has to work on but for some he is a monster that abuses his pokemon

I just skimmed it, and…wow.

It’s not as bad as I was expecting, but it definitely has shades of demonizing him for struggling with empathy.

Let me make this clear: HAVING LOW EMPATHY DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE A BAD PERSON.

Empathy is not the same thing as compassion.

Empathy is not the same thing as sympathy.

Empathy is the ability to put yourselves in others’ shoes and understand the viewpoints/emotions.

God, can’t they just admit they hate neurodivergent people and go?
