They both amuse and annoy me.
How many ETs have there been here on earth and our planets?

Then there are Truther Truthers. Richard Hoagland, a former NASA consultant and co-author of the 2007 New York Times best-seller Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA, believes that people like Crrow777 are NASA plants hired to keep the public from looking too closely at the Pluto images and seeing what they reveal: evidence of alien life

It isn't just that people believe it, they make money off it!

Ah the best part is the flat earth people are coming back. Everyone should get their AFBs ready.

Yeh I herd , I thought "Man " what you bin smoking what ever it is can I have some .

Where the hell do these fringe dwellers come from , they better get back on there meds or check back into the nut house

Hehehe.
The greecs know that the earth is a sphere.
2500 years ago one calculated with an accuracy of 10% the size of the earth:)

If you want to consider Pluto to be a planet, then it should be classified as an ICY PLANET along with the other icy planets that we have found and will find that are as big or bigger. This should fit in with the previous designations of:

Rocky planets (Inner)
Gas planets (Outer giants)
Icy planets (Far out dwarfs)

This shouldn't offend anyones' sensibilities and should ease the arguments.

As time and technology move on we will find more and more of the latter. We may even choose to consider members of the Oort cloud to be far out icy asteroids (potential comets)

Perhaps we will find that this pattern exists for other "solar systems"

Here is a truly beautiful proposal that should just about end arguments (I hope):
http://www.astronist.co.uk/astro_ev/_docs/Ashworth_planet_nomenclature.pdf

1. it would also put Pluto as a Dwarf planet! :D ;)
2. it has moon categorized as planets - which they r not! ;)

I guess everybody's entitled to their opinion. It shall remain my belief that New Horizons achieved it's mission goals just like they reported it.

in my country we have a saying:
"Opinions r like farts, everybody has them!"

New Horizons may have a new target, a Kuiper Belt Object one billion miles beyond Pluto, called 2014 MU69. It should reach it in 2019. It is a small object. much smaller than Pluto.Meanwhile the comet orbited by the Rosetta spacecraft seems to have survived the comet's perihelion, but no signals from Philae have been recorded. The Dawn spacecraft is orbting Ceres and sending astonishing images of the asteroid.

In human emotional perspective, the planet belongs to our solar system.

Where is it written with any authority that Pluto didn't form from the same material that the rest of the solar system came from?

I never knew the following information:

Rejected by Neptune?

The early solar system was a cluttered place, with planets, dwarf planets, and asteroids scattered all around. As planets traveled through their paths, their significant mass gave them a great deal of gravitational power, changing the orbits of smaller bodies. Some were catapulted into the sun, while others were cast out of the solar system completely. The solar system today is clean compared to its early life.

Pluto's bizarre orbit led many astronomers to conclude that it had been kicked from the orbit of the planet Neptune at some time in its history. This seemed strengthened by the planet's similarity to Neptune's largest moon, Triton. However, Pluto's orbit is such that it can never collide with the large planet, meaning that it could not have once been part of its system.

KLik, I never saw a followup response from you regarding the makeup of Pluto. You claim it wasn't formed from the same material as the rest of the planets. So just how did it get here?

a theory goes that Pluto & some other "dwarf planets" & asteroids came under (gravity) influence of d Sun...as it's orbit is inclined to all other orbits & elliptical - most astronomers think that Pluto isn't the original habitant of Solar sys, like most Kuiper belt objects...
also, it's rotation is completely wrong 2 all other planets in Solar sys...
also, d composition of Pluto is that of a comet / asteroid...not of a planet! etc.

New Horizons is still downloading data of the flyby by a very small rate given the distance and the electrical power available. It may take years.
