A brief mention that we're not done finding planets. Also exoplanets.

| Jul 6, 2018 at 9:53 | comment | added | Oscar Bravo | Interesting read... One little anecdote from when my daughter came home from school and told me that Pluto was an Elf planet. I was wondering what her teacher had been smoking when it occurred to me she'd watched Lord of the Rings at the weekend and had got a little mixed up... | |

Pluto's status is a distraction from this question, so I covered both angles and the history of "planet". From your comments you're pretty passionate about it, but this isn't the place to have it out. Maybe work up a question about the IAU process? | |
| Jul 6, 2018 at 5:05 | comment | added | jamesqf | You should really add a bit about the the IAU and how their ridiculous definition of planet came about. It was not science: basically one person's vendetta against Clyde Tombaugh which persuaded a very small minority of the IAU to adopt a definition deliberately intended to exclude Pluto: laurele.livejournal.com/4755.html | |
