Hello all, Is there any rule of thumb (rough or otherwise) that can be used to determine if a body is more or less likely to be spherical? I realize the answer...
There is a sort of "rule of thumb", known sometimes as "Kaula's rule" (named after my late thesis advisor, William Kaula, UCLA). Kaula noted that the...

If my pet theory is right, the asteroids are only the tiniest remnant of three Neptune size rocky planets in the same orbit. The three body orbit being...
OK, excuse my ignorance (and these may be stupid questions - but......) 1. Where did all the material to form 3 Neptune sized terrestial planets come from? 2....
No excuse because none needed. Having played with programming years ago I set up a program that emulated the three body orbit. Unstable, there aren't any...

Since the IAU has not formally decided that 2003 UB313 is a planet, I think it inappropriate that official releases from NASA keep calling it the "tenth...
... Marsden and a few other shortsighted people made the CSBN a PR lackey when Brown et al. started this dirty game with their naming of 2003 VB12 = Sedna. One...
... No, actually it started with (50000) Quaoar. Brown et al. had already grown a huge chip on their shoulder even before Sedna. And now they take a ...
I'm sorry to have created a thread that isn't directly related to the work of the list. Maybe you missed the acknowledgement that this is not the end all, be...
So what is it with this Brown et al hatred that some of the people here have. Have any of you meet the people in question? If you had, to even elude that the...
I concur with Brian. I just moved to California and in two months I discovered that people here love chaos. JPL (and, I am sorry to say, Ron Baalke) seem NOT...

I personally have nothing against Brown et al. Just, as Brian writes, I do not like our tax dollars to support 'official' bulletins that are not appropriate....
... I don't really see why it is not appropriate. If Pluto is a planet, then 'Xena' has to be too. And I also detect a double standard here. It is considered ...
Little bit of history. Here is a paste (from something) relating the history of discovery of Uranus in 1781: "Herschel argued with other astronomers over the...

10th planet is perfectly OK in anything emanating from Brown. Not really when it is used by a taxpayer supported agency like NASA (JPL). Alan Harris looked...
