AI Exposes Stupidity in Astronomy | #chatgpt
In their quest to destroy Pluto, astronomers inadvertently define Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune as non planets
From Wikipedia:
The discovery of Eris forced the IAU to act on a definition. In October 2005, a group of 19 IAU members, which had already been working on a definition since the discovery of Sedna in 2003, narrowed their choices to a shortlist of three, using approval voting. The definitions were:
Michael E. Brown, discoverer of Eris
A planet is any object in orbit around the Sun with a diameter greater than 2,000Â km. (eleven votes in favour)
A planet is any object in orbit around the Sun whose shape is stable due to its own gravity. (eight votes in favour)
A planet is any object in orbit around the Sun that is dominant in its immediate neighbourhood. (six votes in favour)
Since no consensus could be reached, the committee decided to put these three definitions to a wider vote at the IAU General Assembly meeting in Prague in August 2006, and on August 24, the IAU put a final draft to a vote, which combined elements from two of the three proposals. It essentially created a medial classification between planet and rock (or, in the new parlance, small Solar System body), called dwarf planet and placed Pluto in it, along with Ceres and Eris.The vote was passed, with 424 astronomers taking part in the ballot.
