On the plus side, we live at a time where we can still observe the cosmic microwave background radiation and total solar eclipses.
Since the moon’s orbit grows by 3" every year, after a few million years it’ll be far enough away that it won’t completely eclipse the sun anymore.
And in a billion year’s time, the CMB will be redshifted so far into deep radio wavelengths that it’ll be impossible to observe
You seriously can’t really be this fucking stupid. Am I getting punked?
Assuming you live in a developed country. If you make your own mud hut in the wilderness, you own the house but you’re definitely not one of the world’s richest
Isn’t that half the plan of Helion Energy?
Except Jupiter is very clearly not a star. It’s an order of magnitude off of the mass required for fusion.
And who cares? A lot of people in the trades make more than even engineers. Who cares if someone acts like you’re uneducated when you’re earning 3x as much as them and they have to call you to get stuff fixed.
I makes 0 sense to go 6 figures inti debt to get an arts degree just to later become a barista at Starbucks or an HR rep. And that discrimination won’t end until people start bucking the trend
No, the problem is that too many people were pushed to get degrees that don’t lead to a career path, and go into debt to do so. It’s caused non-specific degrees to be worthless by oversaturation.
You don’t need a bachelor’s for philosophy or history. Go read books or take online courses if you’re interested, but do so alongside learning skills for a career. You can make a lot of money in the trades, and it doesn’t prevent you from learning more for your own enjoyment
Notice the exception is written very specifically just to keep pluto from “clearing” is orbit.
There are tons of other Kuiper Belt objects in Pluto’s orbit. This wasn’t an exception written to spite Pluto. If you can attribute any malice to the definition, it comes from not wanting to include Eris, Sedna, Makemake, Quorua, and 200+ other Kuiper Belt objects as planets. Pluto was just caught in the crossfire because it fits with the other Kuiper Belt objects because it is one.
“orbit the Sun”. Not a star but very specifically the Sun.
This is a level of knitpicking that is completely childish. Grow up.
Aka the Charon-Pluto binary dwarf planet system
Tbf, if you were going to keep Pluto in the definition you’d have to include 200+ other orbits
Size is a factor. But not everything.
What’s important though is that it’s large enough to hold an atmosphere (at least if it had one).
Define an atmosphere. Because there’s multiple asteroids that technically have one, albeit extremely thin ones. And be careful about being too nitpicky, as Mercury’s atmosphere is just it’s rock being vaporized due to its proximity to the sun
*Lagrange points
there’s also a dwarf planet in the inner solar system
It’s arguable about whether it’s in the “Inner Solar System”. Ceres is inside the asteroid belt, and the asteroid belt is the separator between the inner and outer system. It’s like floating in the middle of The Rhine and debating whether you’re in Germany or France
Failed stars
but don’t try to justify ignoring the other few dozen planetoids poorly.
There’s 200+ kuiper belt objects that are large enough to be spherical, and most don’t have names
The barycenter of the Earth-Moon system sits well within Earth’s radius. There is no definition under which the Earth-Moon system is considered binary
Then YOU come up with a definition of a planet that manages to include Pluto while simultaneously excluding Ceres, Charon, Eris, Cedna, Makemake, and 200+ other objects in the solar system large enough to be spherical, some of which are larger than Pluto
*Sometimes. The other planets can counterbalance Jupiter’s effect on the barycenter to pull it back into the surface of the Sun.
Also, it’s Sun, not Son
