Insipired by today's link in the Environment/Energy/Science forum:

5. I thought they were calling Pluto

an Oort Cloud object, but that Sedna is beyond the Oort Cloud.

Did I hear that wrong?

[TheMightyFavog]

11. No...

Tecnically, Pluto is a Kuiper Belt object. The kuiper belt is a field of debris on the outer fringes of the solar system. The Oort cloud is further out than the Kuiper Belt.

[MisterP]

Plutino Oort object;

insuficcient data, diameter given 0.9-0.6 Pluto's, Pluto at lower limit of planet designation, eccentricity may invalidate Sedna

8. a cool city in Arizona

No, wait, that's Sedona.

9. Ahem, It's not an Oort Cloud object...

But a Kuiper Belt object!

13. Are are Correct, Jonathan -- Thank You

I changed the poll.

The Oort Cloud, I understand, is still is some dispute, in that it would be too far away and its members too small to be directly visible.

10. An Anti-Depressant ?

:shrug:

[Ediacara]

12. depends on what a "planet" is

IF Pluto is called a planet, then Sedna should be considered one too.

IF Pluto is considered a planetoid, then Sedna should also.

I tend to lean towards them both being called planetoids, so I voted for "just another Oort object." That of course would mean that our solar system has just eight planets.

14. We don't know

and this is why science is cool.

Khash.

P.S. It's probably Courtney Love's most recent drug induced publicity stunt. In which case, it's still cool.

Bertha and I are plodding along. Now that spring weather is here I think we will both feel better.

16. I voted for planet, but I actually consider it a vast clump of now

frozen wet laundry left here by the Creator of the Universe when he or she failed to clean up after himself or herself.

18. Neither Sedna nor Pluto are planets

[strategery blunder]

20. BFEE's first space colony

there's oil in them thar rocks!

[SmileyBoy]

21. Does anyone know the diameter???

If it's over 1,000 miles, then it's a planet, IMO.

Pluto is a planet, because it has its own moon, Charon.

22. I thought it was a town in Arizona.

23. The AZ town is Sedona n/t
