Who elected the International Astronomical Union (whatever that is) to determine by what name the rest of us call things? I do not know of any vote that gave them ultimate authority to determine what was what. You can call Pluto a planet if you want to. You can call it dwarf planet, or a rogue moon, or whatever you like.
As always, public opinion and wide spread use of whatever term people want to use will determine what it is, and the self-appointed authority will be ignored.
Scientists. A body of democratically elected astronomers to represent a voice for the science of astronomy, based on group consensus of elected experts. So yeah, you're a moron, lol...
I call you an idiot and bland as a low sodium rice cracker, as there is no ultimate authority to determine what was what. From now on you are called Idiot Bob
I suppose you eat with a dinglehopper then?
