They said planets, not dwarf planets. Pluto is no longer a planet.

reminds me of one of my favourite jokes ever:


Thor and the rest of the Gods are having an epic orgy on Mt Olympus. Maidens everywhere, wine, song, just a legendary night.
In the morning, Thor wakes up and figures he could use another go-round.
Just then a lovely maiden walks by, so he looks her up and down and says "Hi.... I'm Thor"

She looks back at him and says "You're thor? YOU'RE thor??? I'm tho thor I can hardly pith!"

It was one of my dad's favorite jokes as well.

Where the hell do you two come up with these?!

Just a remark about that picture (which is pretty cool btw)

I'm not sure how accurate that is because I believe if the Earth was as close to Saturn as the moon, we would be within Saturn's rings. Just stating.

Wait, what?!11!

I guess I understand why Pluto was voted out of the club. It just didn't have enough pull with the rest of the planets.

I think Saturn's rings extend to about 150,000 km from its surface, and the moon is 380,000 km from Earth. Even measuring from the centers of mass, we wouldn't be inside of Saturn's rings if I remember correctly.

In any case, if you consider the rings the outer radius, you could just put the rings 380,000 km away from Earth, and the problem is solved.

It's been a long time since I considered anything astronomical but I think that there is an obliquity to the rings of Saturn. At their furthest I think they reach about 100,000-150,000 km from the planet's surface.

I think that DS has the distance from earth to moon about right at ~380,000. Therefore we wouldn't fall within the ring.

However....I don't know personally but I'd bet that if we were that close to a planet that big, with that many moons (some of which are bigger than earth), humans wouldn't have had the chance to evolve before this planet was pulverized into dust/absorbed into the orbit.

I just looked it up and no moon of Saturn is larger than Earth. My unfounded speculation above remains however.

It's a PLANET!!!

With depravity, I break lots of gravity
Blast past the atmosphere to the last frontier
I go boldly through space and time
The sky's the limit but they're limiting the sky

I break orbit by habit, I ignite satellites
And leave rings round the planets
A flying ace like that beagle
Nevertheless this alien remains illegal

'Cause their discovery don’t cover me
The immigrants been left in the cold to grow old
And disintegrate, discriminate
Against the distant and disclaimers

'Cause small minds can't see past Uranus
When I shun their race
'Cause that's just a phase
And my odyssey runs in 2001 ways

And I can see clearly now like Hubbell
Shoved off the shuttle
Here's my rebuttal
It's a planet

Who do you represent?
I represent the smallest planet
A tourney in this journey
Versus those who tried to ban it

If you don't agree
Go see interplanet Janet Cause
The sun is star like
Pluto is planet

So lend me all ears
And let me state my case
About all the types
Of satellites we must embrace

'Cause like parents, great-grandparents
This planet was an immigrant
To deport it’s an offense
It's an upstanding member of the solar system

Abide the laws of Earth and make it a victim
Of Proposition, 187
When Pluto spawns a moon
It will apply to the heavens

A dandy like Judas of Iscariot
If you demote this boat, remote to a goat
It's like taking ET’s custody from Elliot
Support yours, clearly put cause, simply put

Pluto is a planet, Pluto
Pluto is a planet, Pluto
Pluto is a planet, Pluto
Pluto is a planet, Pluto

Do it for the children
If not for yourself
Pluto is a
