- GMoromisato 2y agoThat's not how definitions work. The IAU defines what "NEO" means and it excludes artificial objects: https://www.iau.org/public/themes/neo/ https://www.iau.org/public/themes/neo/ You may complain that you should be able to derive the definition from the name, but then all names would be as long as their definition, defeating the purpose.
