By the way, the Sun isn't a star: it's a dwarf star. It's the new
IAU nomenclature; a dwarf something is no longer a something. I
wonder when the AKC will declare that toy poodles are no longer
poodles?

The way I understand it is that a dwarf star is still a star, and a dwarf
galaxy is still a galaxy, but a dwarf planet is not a planet. (We do know
that toy poodles are too small to be raal dogs - real dogs go WOOF, not
yap-yap-yap. G)

Clear skies, Alan
