@tcn33 It’s not a planet unless Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, Eris, 2207OR10, Quaoar, Sedna, Orcus, 2002MS4 & Salacia are, too. +prob many more.

@kchangnyt "dwarf planet is not a planet". Why not let them be like dwarf galaxies & stars? Minor improvement - everybody happy.
@DrFunkySpoon No one (except Alan) cared Ceres was round and not a planet until Pluto demoted. Why care so much about Pluto?

@kchangnyt Because planetary scientists care about planets as places, as interesting worlds with analogous processes subject to comparison. -
@DrFunkySpoon Again non-Alan planetary scientists never argued for Ceres. You’re also clinging to the cultural allure of “planet.”
