everything is painfully dumbed down, the way he talks is like explaining science to retatds

I'm going to finish watching Sagan's Cosmos first.

Now the darkness of space is mimicked by the darkness of the commentator.

Unless they find a way to re-birth Sagan - Its more better than no Cosmos at all.

I really liked the animation bit in it. I assume that was made by the family guy studio.

It has to be, for the 95% of humanity that has yet to intellectually evolve.

A simple "niggers" post would have sufficed.

Then you would have missed being entertained by my extraoardinary display of astute cleverness.

Stopped watching when he implied Pluto isn't a planet.

That's FSM sacrilege and I'm not having it.

Feel you pain bud HowSomEver you should be crying over Eris which is near by Pluto and Eris is larger. In fact in the same region there are multiple other masses that could have been called planets. Alas they are masses but not planets.

Via Edit I decided to update self on exactly which body of science types decided and they solved this with a new classification

Dwarf Planets so Pluto n Eris are still planets sorta of and the good news is that its possible one of the other dwarfs will crash in2 Pluto and then it may make it larger and then Pluto can again make it in2 full Planet or it might split up n not even be a dwarf no more

Mad? For a silly reply? Maybe a bit angry having to look at some Satellite telemetry which looks normal 2me but upsets another engineer. But hey its good for some heavy Sunday PM Billing on Monday morning

Stopped reading there. Eris is nowhere fucking near Pluto.

No it isn't. As a doctor, I suggest that you familiarise yourself with the concept of orbital resonances. Dumbfuck.

Orbital dominance

Clearing the neighbourhood

Alan Stern and Harold F. Levison introduced a parameter Λ (lambda), expressing the likelihood of an encounter resulting in a given deflection of orbit. The value of this parameter in Stern's model is proportional to the square of the mass and inversely proportional to the period. This value can be used to estimate the capacity of a body to clear the neighbourhood of its orbit, where Λ > 1 will eventually clear it. A gap of five orders of magnitude in Λ was found between the smallest terrestrial planets and the largest asteroids and Kuiper belt objects.

Using this parameter, Steven Soter and other astronomers

argued for a distinction between planets and dwarf planets based on the inability of the latter to "clear the neighbourhood

around their orbits": planets are able to remove smaller bodies near their orbits by collision, capture, or gravitational disturbance'''

(or establish orbital resonances that prevent collisions),

whereas dwarf planets lack the mass to do so.

whereas dwarf planets lack the mass to do so.

whereas dwarf planets lack the mass to do so.

Soter went on to propose a parameter he called the planetary discriminant, designated with the symbol µ (mu), that represents an experimental measure of the actual degree of cleanliness of the orbital zone (where µ is calculated by dividing the mass of the candidate body by the total mass of the other objects that share its orbital zone), where µ > 100 is deemed to be cleared. There are several other schemes that try to differentiate between planets and dwarf planets, but the 2006 definition uses this concept.

You think that Eris is "near by" Pluto, and that there is a high probability of collisions occurring between planetoid sized bodies in the Kuiper Belt. I don't think you understand how the Solar System works.

Neat, so do you like Neil deGrasse Tyson's reboot of Cosmos?
