We dedicate tonight's open thread to Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson who is Director of the Hayden Planetarium and one of the guys we have to thank for Pluto being demoted to dwarf planet status. Says them. Johnny didn't sign off on that. It's got a moon (Charon), they have a situation like Earth where the moon revolves around the planet meeting 95% of planet status. Mercury and Venus can't even afford moons so this whole idea Pluto got demoted seems silly. Pluto is a planet, it's has been a planet in good standing with it's taxes paid and a Disney sponsorship to boot. Johnny doesn't know of any Disney characters named Mercury.
