Well it's already in the hundreds. Do you want to try to memorize them all? I certainly don't. Near and far isn't that helpful, because people seem to care more about Uranus and Neptune and Saturn than they do Vesta and Ceres, and they seem to care a lot more about Pluto than they do Makemake, Eris, and a bunch of others that I don't recall the names of that are in the same general area.
- perl4ever 9y agoWhy do you think it's in the hundreds? I count less than 20 objects on the Wikipedia page I linked to that are Ceres size or larger and orbiting the Sun, excluding Haumea because it isn't really round.
- magduf 9y agoSo hydrostatic equilibrium is your filter? You realize that the size of the object can vary dramatically there, depending on what it's made of, right? (One made of ice will be round with far less mass than one made of rock.)
