Considering the definition of a plutoid is effectively "a planet further away than neptune", I'm inclined to shun the plutoists and agree with him.

- lmm 11y agoCeres was robbed of planetary status before it was cool.
- valarauca1 11y agoThis isn't talked about more often but its kinda funny. During roughly the American Revolution there were 10 planets. Neptune/Pluto weren't yet discovered. Instead we had Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, George (Uranus), Ceres, Vesta, and several other minor asteroids.
- supermatt 11y agoWow. So many downvotes. You guys must really hate pluto. Fyi. Definition is from iau. Earth would also fall under same criteria if it was further than neptune...
- supermatt 11y agoAnyone care to explain the downvotes? Are you disagreeing with what I'm saying? This place is more like reddit every day.
