re: All the names

Raoul — 9/3/2006 8:51:10 AM (archived)

The way the first list of names was presented made it very difficult to distinguish them.

Brown was "unhappy" by the first proposal. He didn't like the prospect of having hundreds of planets. That's why "planet" with either an adjective (dwarf planet) or a prefix (exoplanet) would be welcome.

If Pluto is to be kept as a planet, then it's not Pluto the one that gets recognition, but Ceres that gets it because I can't imagine why one would be qualified and the other not.
