Who else is excited about Pluto?

Indeed, Pluto orbits at an angle to the ecliptic.

These will blow your mind and make you feel VERY SMALL on this world of ours.

Some of the giant stars are very tenuous, almost a vacuum rather than big and heavy. And Betelgeuse is expected to blow up soon (10,000 years maybe) - "the candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long" - a lot less than half in fact

Best part of this thread in my opinion

I always knew that I never really needed to worry about things: homework, jobs, relationships etc.

Just remembered Pluto and Popeye

We may be alone in our own galaxy but I am certain that there are other beings in other galaxies. Distance is the problem.

Is that the 'only one species per galaxy' theory then?

How is distance the problem? They are either there or they ain't!

I am, though Pluto only recently reappeared on my radar after reading Mike Brown's How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming. Caltech professor of planetary astronomy Brown is pretty high up the league tables on planetary (or whatever) discovery.

I don't care what the taxonomists are currently thinking. Pluto is a planet. It was when I was a boy and it still is.

Then Brown is the guy you want to have a contract put out on.

I visited Pluto in 1967 I flew there after taking some vitamins I was quite surprised I can tell you.

Did you pass Prot on the way?

Forgive me going off topic, but I loved that film,

.........and still the question remains “are we alone”

You'd probably want to send them back if they visited for cluttering up the country and stealing benefits or other such bollócks, or for looking a bit too "spacey"
