Marked on my calendar, see you all there!
Will it or won't it be a planet by then?
We will call it a planet if we plan it.
depends on how you define "planet".
Since it is discovery
its ಠ_ಠ
You mean to tell me it hasn't even been a year (on Pluto) since we discovered Pluto?!
It was discovered, made a planet, and then kicked out the club in that time.
If you think 2020 was bad, wait until you hear about Pluto's year... the American civil war, ww1, ww2, the great depression, the moon landing... the American civil war...
But none of those things happened on the planet
It's been a really rough year for Pluto. Let's all wish it good luck next year (when humans are probably dead).
Alright, setting a reminder
Pluto Party Time!
How much longer? I"ve got my costume ready and everything...
How can we even know it's a planet when we haven't observed a single orbit, yet?
Maybe it's just a really big comet.
We've observed enough of its orbit to know what shape it is.
How can you be so sure it doesn't just decide to leave
And who could blame it?
!remind_me 1868 months
Fine I'll look it up. Discovered 1930, so that makes a Pluto year 248 Earth years.
Hopefully the AI Contruct that we will create will be able to witness it.
Because I don't think humans are surviving that long.
I might end up missing that, too‽ Goddammit!
