re: Everybody's Entitled To Their Own Opinion

[And there certainly are enough dynamicists who agree with you to have pushed the current definition through in the absence of a sizable number of planetary scientists. Pluto is an icy dwarf. There are also gas giants and terrestrial planets. I don't mind pluto being called a dwarf planet or an icy dwarf based on a clear logical definition. It is clearly smaller and of different composition than terrestrial planets.]

Fair enough as well as what Socs said above about us knowing more now than what we did then.

[The definition of a planet should not depend on where it is located period based on the fact that we now know planets migrate.]

True, unless some solar system catastrophy would occur. You know what I mean.

Best to you, Marsby!
