Hi,
These recent discoveries of new planets is going to heat up the
on-going quarrel about what is and isn't a planet, with its increasingly
long definitions and conditions statements designed to trim reality in
the mold of the arguer's mind.
Frankly, I used to belong to the
In the case of both 2003 UB313 and 2003 EL61, we see that these
bodies are surprisingly bright and the first question that comes to mind
is Why did nobody discover them before now? They weren't looking in
the right place,...
Hence I propose as a name for one of them:Waldo
Buckleboo!

Hi Sterlinglist,
The naming issue seems to me almost the more interesting problem than the
definition, from when on a lump of rock should be called planet (greek:
wandering star). Does size matter? Perhaps. (at the moment a range from tiny
Mercury and Pluto up to giant objects around other

Sedir id the turkish word for latin Cedrus, the cedar.
A Cedar-lite (greek lithos = the stone) is a stone from a cedar.
From this stones the Irish extract the fermentation agent for an aromatic
cheese, the ceddar or cheddar.
Hope this helped.

Can't find that auction, but Pinus Eisenstejn whispered in my ear, that you
misspelled the terms from the item's description from the Ward book auction.
Siderite, siderolite, aerolites are archaic denominations for the meteorite
types irons, stony-irons and stones.

I'm happy enough for now keeping the definition loose. We have nine objects
that we call planets for historical reasons; I'd be cautious adding more
until we have a better understanding of their formation. I would lean away
from calling anything significantly off the ecliptic a planet, unless

Dear List,
Let me wonder out loud. Or out e-loud.
What would characterize a meteorite from a Kuiper
Belt asteroid/planet? I know ices constitute their
mantle composition, but their cores are presumably
rocky...and this could be a meteorite source IF the
impacts are energetic enough. If so,

Oversite should be spelled oversight. Just another oversight on your

Very few of the Polynesian gods and goddesses are suitable for naming

looking for planets inside Mercury (Trans Vulcan) we'd be in good shape.
The only one that really seems appropriate is Poliahu, the goddess who rules

Hi,
Martin said a wise thing: Formation and Society is the point.
My point was that, from the beginning, the class Planets had two disparate
members: Terrestrials and Gas Giants. We are still arguing about how they
formed, where, when, and everything else. We were sure Gas Giants had
Hi Listees!
I´ve heared that someone had made a scarab of a lunar meteorite (HORROR!!!)!
Has someone a picture of it? Bua! I only know a old egyptian

pics, please send them to me.

Hi Sterling, Martin and all,
Although some might considered off topic (what is a planet) it is on
topic as we don't know where some of the unique meteorites in our
collections come from or any new type that may be discovered. It also
fits the description in the Meteoritical Society's front
Hi List,
One other thing I might mention, is that Clyde wrote a book on the
discovery of Pluto. The title is Out Of The Darkness, The Planet Pluto
by Clyde W. Tombaugh. Worth a read for those wanting to know more about
the details and politics of this significant discovery.
