        @neiltyson @nytimes One article even speculated it was the size of Jupiter! Astronomers and fishermen have a lot in common.

        @neiltyson @nytimes you seem very fixated with size Mr Tyson. If all we knew were Jupiter sized planets, would Earth still be a planet?

        @Styx_The_Moon @neiltyson I believe by the IAU definition, this would render -everything- in that path a dwarf planet (2/2)

        @neiltyson @nytimes why r so many against giving back planet status? Give Pluto it's rightful 'place' in our solar system #still❤️Neil
