Hola Tracy Norm,
Thanks to both of you for the warmhearted comments, public or not, as well
as for the charming addition to my vocabulary! There were 4.5 billion-year
old rocks on the table, of that photo, I'd like to point out.
Probably the best wildlife in addition to our own

I have auctions ending tonight on some real nice specimens, most at a mere
fraction of what they would retail for. Some key pieces were started at just
99 cents and are still bargain priced. To see all of the auctions click

Hi all...just a reminder. If you're into rare
primative achondrites we have a beautiful new
Acapulcoite NWA 2714 ending in just about 45 minutes.
Even if you're not interested in bidding it is worth a
look.
A thought provoking concept Darren.
Analagous to seventeenth century religiousity which refused to accept the
Copernican revolutionary thought?
Kinda don't rock the boat cause its too damned complicated and might cause
a 'panic' for joe sixpac[that's me by the way before my doctor screwed that
up]
I knew it was too good to be true. Pigs will probably fly sooner.

If adopted, the wording would bring our solar system tally
And therefore closer to reality and the scientific pursuit of objects within
and outside the solar system at a level to challenge our current technology
driving it toward further refinement?

Dear List,
A very quick note to let those interested know that the very last slice of
NWA 2639 is on eBay and is due to end very shortly. Only two collectors
have any of this material, the rest is tied up in a Museum, a University and
my personal collection.

Not at all. There is a difference between the public misusing something that
already has a formal definition (meteor), and the scientific establishment
adopting a new definition for a word that has been used in a certain way for
centuries (planet)- a definition at odds with how the word is now

Hi John and others,
Pluto hasn't even been know for a century yet. Far as I know it has only
been recently that the status has been questioned with no real

In response;

Well, that would make Chris right, for all the centuries before it's
discovery it had not been referred to as a planet. : )

No, but it has been for the best part of the last century. The vast majority
of people now alive don't remember a time before there was a ninth planet.

A planet is a body that directly orbits a star, is
large enough to be
round because of self gravity, and is not so large
that it triggers
nuclear fusion in its interior.
This is a very sensible definition. We should have
no aversion to calling Pluto, Xena, Sedna and Quauoar

What about 'planitesimal'? I had always thought that referred to an object
in orbit around the Sun that wasn't one of the 9 commonly accepted as
'planets'.
Personally, speaking from a planeto-centrist view, I'd say that the next
rock we find in orbit has to be at least the size of Mars

I know how you feel Dave. But, while I see Steve Arnold #2 as being a
substantial problem on the List, he isn't the only problem.
