Well, that seems totally worth it....... It's still getting there.

It's amazing how Pluto looks more like my anus than Uranus does.

It's a fucking planet. It has a fucking moon. It has 8 bit graphics. It actually has five moons. Also I agree on it should be considered a planet. NOT because of being butthurt over the demotion, but we live in a day where we need to inspire kids with the sciences. What is more interesting? teaching kids there parents are wrong, there are only 8 planets? or saying screw it, including dwarf planets as "proper" planets, and teaching kids that there aren't 8 planets, nor 9, but in fact 14, with the possibility of more being confirmed. Mercury Venus Earth Mars Ceres Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto Charon* Haumea Makemake Eris *Giving Charon planet status instead of moon status since it and pluto orbit a point in space between them, vs it orbiting pluto itself. |

Total chop. I can tell by the pixels and having seen a few Uranus in my time. |

How is it that we have such detailed photos of the pillars of creation, but have a potato pic of a plant within our solar system? Angular size. (MOA) The pillars of creation might be much futher away. but it's angular size is actually MUCH larger. The moon is 31 arcmins Eagle nebula is 7 arcmins Pluto is ~ 0.001 arcmin Andromeda for example while very faint to the naked eye, is actually about 4 times the size of the moon in the sky. |

Thanks for the explanation! Did you guys see the video of the Nikon lens that can zoom in on the moon? [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfshAzV0FN4[/youtube] |
