Ummmm...guess I need a clue. Chirp, a little help here.

Can't be "the moon". No craters...or crack, if you're thinking of the other "moon".

I'm still pissed that the changed things and de-listed Pluto as a planet.  Did they even consider how that would make Mickey Mouse's dog feel?

It was so sad when they did that.  Too small and too far out to he considered a planet, sub-planet this and that.  It's crap.

I wonder what astrologers thought of the discovery of Pluto and then its rise and fall. Did they ever update their calculations?

At least the discoverer of Pluto, didn't see it's demise.
He even got to "visit" Pluto, since part of his ashes travel on board of New Horizons.

I'm not okay, you're not okay. But hey, that's okay

Pluto Discovery Debacle: Is Pluto a Planet?


Thanks for the link to a very helpful summary of the debate. I didn't know about Eris or Sedna. Makes you wonder what else might be out there, lurking in the darkness.

They are trying to learn new things about planet nine. Since pluto isnt a planet anymore.  Its location even shows up on my star walk 2 app.

What I'm more interested about now is this possibility of black dwarfs that might be orbiting our sun.  To big to be gas giant planets yet too small and cool to be considered stars.

Not to mention Cruithne which some people have tried to describe as Earth's second moon.

I love that Pluto, when we finally saw it, had a giant heart on it. I take it as a sign that God loves us, because why not?

In my hippie days, my idea of happiness was to live in an isolated log cabin with minimum utilities, a shortwave radio, and an astronomical telescope. That way I could keep in contact with the world and the universe. Thanks to Sir Tim Berners-Lee, we now have the world wide web, can talk with anyone anywhere, and can marvel at stunning images of asteroids, planets, stars, and galaxies.

Off on a topic tangent: I loved Pink Floyd in their Syd Barrett days but could never stand the vapid lyrics of Astonomy Domine. "Neptune, Titan, stars can frighten" — seriously? Almost as bad of some of Tyrannosaurus Rex's tweetie-twee lyrics in their initial Marc-Steve acoustic incarnation.

For the past two and a half years, we had a second moon.

Well that is only half true.  We were being orbited by an asteroid for two and. a half years.  This is the second time in recent history that there was an natural celestial body orbiting our small planet.  This object that was jo more that 2 meter wide circled our planet from 2017 until just a few months ago.

Right now it is no longer orbiting us and has since been flung back into deep space by our gravity.  This small asteroid was no threat to our planet as it was too small to have done any damage.

The last time we had a second mini-moon was 14 years ago.  Perhaps in the next 14 years we I'll have another.

Astronomers use the word conjunction to describe meetings of planets and other objects on our sky’s dome. They use the term great conjunction to describe meetings of the two biggest worlds in our solar system, mighty Jupiter and the glorious ringed planet Saturn.

The next great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will be December 21, 2020. That date is, coincidentally, the date of the December solstice. It’ll be the first Jupiter-Saturn conjunction since the year 2000, and the closest Jupiter-Saturn conjunction since 1623, only 14 years after Galileo made his first telescope. At their closest, Jupiter and Saturn will be only 0.1 degree apart. That’s just 1/5 of a full moon diameter.

I've had that marked on my calendar since I read about it last week.  Knowing my luck, it'll be cloud covered and snowing.

If you should happen to live within this green swath, there’s a *very slight* chance of observing the Aurora Borealis tonight—assuming you have clear skies. This forecast was generated by NOAA yesterday morning for the nights of December 9th and 10th. It’s based on a G3 level solar storm that’s been belching out an intense stream of star stuff.
.
Can you imagine seeing the Northern Lights from Missouri? Again, not very likely, but not completely out of the question.
