| subject: | Is Pluto a planet? |
What do you think, and why?
I never have thought so. It's orbital parameters are too
anomalous. And then there's Neptune's inclination to it's
orbital plane, over 90 degrees. I can't think of a solid
explanation, but I've always wondered if Pluto might have
been a moon of Neptune, perhaps close enough to be rotationally
locked like Mercury, and somehow (passing body?) gotten flipped
out of the plane and tipping Neptune as a reaction.
p.s. Hubble seems to have found two new smaller moons beyond
Charon.
