I like your perspective. In matters of pronunciation and spelling we can get very anglocentric. Crossing languages there are issues of missing sounds in some languages and spelling cannot be standardized when alphabets are not universal. Most of our common star names are Arabic in origin but are often far from their original pronunciation. And how do you say "Uranus"? I'm so glad Bode convinced Herschel not to call it Georgium since the Americans might make fun of that name. On Tue, Jul 21, 2015 at 10:01 AM, Jeff Smith <utah-astronomy@unbiasedgeek.com> wrote:
As a high trained (aka I read a few books and Wikipedia) professional (in an unrelated field) all the following should be taken as gospel truth. :) If we bring back Pluto can we bring back Ceres? It was a planet long before Pluto. We could also bring back Pallas, Juno, and Vesta as they were all considered planets at one point. We should also make Eris(might be bigger than Pluto), Haumea, and Makemake (my personal favorite) to the list as well. In all honesty Pluto is still a planet, it is a Dwarf Planet. Big enough to reach hydrostatic equilibrium but small enough it cannot clear it orbital neighbourhood. If you listen to the New Horizons briefings you may have noticed they always referred to it as the Pluto system. Because Pluto/Charon is a binary system. The barycenter lies outside of both Pluto and Charon. IMHO that make is super exciting. Personally I think they should have reclassified all planets back in '06. e.g. Rocky Planets, Gaseous Planets, etc That begin said if the scientific community cannot agree on a pronunciation on Chraon (is it /ˈʃærən/ or /ˈkɛərən/) then I suspect this debate shall never end.

I would personally favor Pluto being returned to official Planet status for the following reasons. It is spherical, has five months, and surface geological activity. The only argument against it, is Pluto's size being smaller than Earth's Moon, making it somewhat comparable to a number of known minor planets.

Thanks Joe.
Flew over it again yesterday and was surprised at so much change in just a month.

I clicked on your link, Joe, and it took me to a picture of a waterfall in New Zealand. I'm very much surprised Patrick's small plane made it that far. Perhaps it has Tesla solar panels on the wings :)
