Had this declassification happened before New Horizons was launched, it wouldn’t have even been funded. Chew on that.

Plus, the notion that Ceres isn’t a planet and that we can’t have more than X planets is a cultural one, not a scientific one. There is no reason for the definition to not be arbitrary, and as such, was specifically designed to exclude Pluto and hence decrease the sum total of world knowledge in the name of assuaging one of the discoverers of Eris’ ego (the other opposed the decision IIRC).

The issue with Pluto’s declassification is it decreases the sum total of knowledge. Every video you see from now until the decision gets reversed will be how Pluto’s not significant –as a planet–. Consider the average learning of a Youtuber. Nobody knows about Ceres and within a few short years they won’t know what Pluto is. No I am not exaggerating.
Pluto still is qualitatively different from Eris etc. being a binary system larger than Eris.

awesome.! :DD

He isn’t a dwarf planet, he calls out to me, Pluto is something more than any of you would ever know.

@Armigo91 “The day that pluto was declassified as a planet i coud hear pluto cry from 3,7billion miles away. Then i realized it wasnt pluto that cried, but the pathetic people around me.”
I swear I DIED laughing when I read that. XDDD Lmfao!!
Anyways, though, I agree with you. That’s crazy to cry over it. I mean, yeah, I love Pluto and I was like “Oh that’s sad” when it was demoted, but then I went on with my life. Hahaha.

@laksikan234
I think so, yes.

Pluto is tell very mysterious, did you think the aliens will come to kill us because we kicked it off the planet list.
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
Pluto in Scorpio, baby!! XD
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
Pluto is not a planet because it was against the rules and it is a star and its going to Jupiter orbit !
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
no rants about the vid itself though, its great. as for all your vids.
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
ludicrous concept of declassification, please stop and get a life.
the day i heard about plutos declassification, i was like oh, ye right……..and i moved on.
i get to youtube, and see 10movies titled (pluto not a planet ZOMG OMFG)
and 100people act suicidal because mr necktie in costume from houston decided to declassifie it.
folks………what are you peoples problems, to hell with you emotional unstabilized disabled freaks.
just keep it to real astronomy and get lost…

Debating, and spending countless of tax dollars on a debate to classify a object is just the tipping point of insanity. First off, it doesnt matter if we call pluto a dwarf planet or a planet. It doesnt affect pluto, and id strongly believe it wouldnt affect us.
I guess pluto just has some psychologic meaning to many of us,
well, let me enlighten you, pluto is still circling the sun,
nothing has happened to it since it declassification.
So to everyone that whines or cries upon this
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
that there are even people that cry because pluto isnt a planet is beyond my understanding. Pluto is a very large rock, and earth is also a very large rock, just several times larger.
The term planet, is just a…………TERM??????
in 300years we’ll have so many planet discovered that we need to classify all of them by a new…….TERM.
Will that be a reason to cry????
its not like pluto disolved, after we declassified it, so i see no concern to whine or even cry.
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
The day that pluto was declassified as a planet i coud hear pluto cry from 3,7billion miles away. Then i realized it wasnt pluto that cried, but the pathetic people around me. Planet, dwarf planet, asteroid, or comet. Its just a name label. Thats like whining that you accidently bought coca cola zero instead of regular coca cola. Same thing in a different package.
I cant hardly imagine that such a useless debate is worth the time and effort to debate about.
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
I cried when pluto didnt become a part of us anymore… FUCK YOU IAU!!!
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
Re binary system, that’s debated. By your and the one side’s definition, when the moon has receded far enough from earth, then the earth and moon will be a binary system.
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
Well, even though it’s been demoted, it’s still beautiful and a part of our solar system. It will always be a part of our family.

@AtolRu2 “Callisto. Why?” Just a lack of time i am afraid. :O( Maybe in the future? :O)
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
Your videos are great (not only Pluto) & I’m even created “personal Solar System” in my Favorites 😀 The only question which I have: your videos are about all planets and large moons, with the exception of Callisto. Why?
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
-225 degrees celcius? If you were able to pick up a small rock on its surface would the cold burn your hand off? Its an impossibly cold place…!
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
wow i would love to see this farest plnet from earth during night times and i cant wait the pictures realeased by horisson iamvery glad tsee the pictures and condition of pluto in my life time so please release the pictures as soon as horison landed on plutos surface please realease the pictures
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
Aggmanuk! I greatly encourage you to combine all of your solar system videos into a little documentary! Your presentation style is awesome! I’de love to see all of them, in order, in HD! These are all fantastic and I plan on using them in my high school earth/space science class. You rock!!!
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 am
I’m looking forward to 2015 when they get more detailed pictures of Pluto and its surface. What we know about Pluto today is not much except that it’s a cold place!
