[轉貼]冥王自成一體 失去行星稱號

【明報專訊】冥王星    （Pluto）被褫奪行星    資格兩年後，周三終於取得一個安慰獎﹕從今以後，所有跟冥王星與太陽的距離差不多，體積較小、光度較弱的矮行星    ，均可稱為「冥王體」（plutoids）。5 P6 p& H0 J: v3 f

目前合此資格的，暫得冥王星和比冥王星更遠和稍大的神星（Eris），但天文學家預期將發現更多。至於矮行星穀神星    （Ceres）因位處火星與木星間，故不獲同等稱號。

Yea it's technically called a Plutoid now if i'm not mistaken. I still don't understand how they need to change the definition of a planet so that it excludes Pluto, i mean seriously, if you're going to start to make a completely new category, shouldn't it be unanimous? It's not religion where people say whichever invisible spaghetti monster is the true spaghetti monster, it's based on science and math. People agree on math, because i have yet to see a normal person say 1 + 1=/=2

u are so out!! Its a old old news!!!
