Right.


The HST comment is 17 months old and note that both
agree Eris is larger than Pluto and it is much more
massive.

Perhaps a VLTI measurement could resolve the issue
and that of the albedos.

Pluto.


It wouldn't make any difference to the classification:

How the Hell did this wind up in the Shed? I thought actual content
wasn't allowed, only matters of form?

Well, Pluto's got a nice form, really. All round and smooth and sexy.


Hey! Let's start a new group, uk.relativity.sheds!
