Boars in the middle of cities, ducks in the fountains of Rome, Venice canals have now clean water full of fishes, swans and dolphins have returned. Air pollution dropped. Nature is reclaiming its spaces during quarantine in Italy. 😊

The Science Has Spoken: Pluto Will Never Be A Planet Again

“What’s perhaps most remarkable is that we can make a simple, mathematical relationship between a world’s mass and its orbital distance that can be scaled and applied to any star. If you’re above these lines, you’re a planet; if you’re below it, you’re not. Note that even the most massive dwarf planets would have to be closer to the Sun than Mercury is to reach planetary status. Note by how fantastically much each of our eight planets meets these criteria… and by how much all others miss it. And note that if you replaced the Earth with the Moon, it would barely make it as a planet.”

It was a harsh lesson in astronomy for all of us in 2006, when the International Astronomical Union released their official definition of a planet. While the innermost eight planets made the cut, Pluto did not. But given the discovery of large numbers of worlds in the Kuiper belt and beyond our Solar System, it became clear that we needed something even more than what the IAU gave us. We needed a way to look at any orbiting worlds around any star and determine whether they met a set of objective criteria for reaching planetary status. Recently, Alan Stern spoke up and introduced a geophysical definition of a planet, which would admit more than 100 members in our Solar System alone. But how does this stand up to what astronomers need to know?

As it turns out, not very well. But the IAU definition needs improving, too, and modern science is more than up to the challenge. See who does and doesn’t make the cut into true planetary status, and whether Planet Nine – if real – will make it, too!

Cool situation we’re getting into here 

There’s not even any reason to fire an employee over wearing a facemask. This is purely just making an ideological position that’s gonna get people killed

If only 100% of the workers decided not to return to work. Business can’t run w/out employees. Sadly, since a 1x payment of 1200 really doesn’t help anyone, ppl are forced to put themselves and their loved ones in danger to put food on the table. Wonderful country we live in.

I'm sorry America. We in Italy are trying our best, but for 2nd phase there is a shortage of tampons, and this is concerning.

Celebrities are saying things like, “young or poor, black or white, rich or not, we all have to play our part” from their luxurious Beverly Hills homes. The irony. Most people with symptoms aren’t even able to get tested but these big names with big money are despite being asymptotic. That is all you need to know about America.
