💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🪐❄️ #Pluto’s reclassification as a #dwarfplanet in 2006 continues to prompt debate.
Scientists disagree about the #IAU’s definition of a #planet, particularly its requirement that a planet clear its orbital neighborhood. The discussion also considers #Eris, #NewHorizons #findings, and competing approaches to classifying worlds in the #solarsystem.

Long After #Pluto Fly-By, #NASA's #NewHorizon's Probe Wakes Up Again, Starts Doing New Science, nearly 6 billion miles from Earth. It is ready to transmit a stream of science data gathered during hibernation from its location in the region of icy objects known as #KuiperBelt.
#Spacecraft also measures the distribution of gas in the outer #heliosphere, the expansive, protective bubble formed by a steady stream of particles that release from the sun called the #solarwind.

An ancient moonpocalypse may explain #Neptune’s odd #moon #Nereid
The strange satellite was born in a steady, circular orbit around Neptune, then tossed into its elongated orbit during a chaotic encounter with a #Pluto-sized body that ejected or pulverized all its sibling #moons. This idea counters assumption that Nereid formed in #KuiperBelt, the cold reservoir of #space rocks in outer #solarsystem, and was pitched into its present orbit later.

I hope we live long enough to witness and discover what JWST knows about the Altjira system in its "eclipsing season" which is scheduled to survey the next 10 years (9 now), where the outer body will be frequently positioned between the inner body and the sun to confirm whether it's a triple system. It's currently classified as a binary system.

"Pluto-like world’s thin atmosphere poses a mystery" by @cosmiclog / @alanboyle - A thin atmosphere may have been observed around a #KuiperBelt object a quarter Pluto's size. As the minor planet crossed in front of a star, telescopes saw light go out and come back slowly rather than instantly. And since Alan is author of "The Case for Pluto" book, he mentions a recent public discussion among politicians about reclassifying Pluto as a planet. https://cosmiclog.com/2026/05/08/pluto-like-worlds-thin-atmosphere-poses-a-mystery/ #astronomy #planetary #science
