From there, everything went as any scientist would have predicted. Originally Mike Brown was put forward as the discover of the tenth planet (for, if Pluto was a planet, so too was the virtually identical Eris). He recognized the absurdity of that and quashed it like a bug. There would ...

Orcus - The Anti-Pluto Dwarf Planet: With Rob Olley. Orcus is a dwarf planet with a eccentric orbit similar to Pluto's but oriented about 180 degrees around the Solar system. Each reaches aphelion when the other is a perihelion.
Alternative classification schemes continue to pop up. A 2017 proposal defined a planet as "a round object in space that's smaller than a star." This wouldmake Pluto a planet again, but it would do the same to theEarth's moonas well as many other moons in the solar system, and bring...
Unlike the other major planets, Pluto has a highly eccentric orbit, which is thus closer to the Sun than Neptune is for 20 years out of every 230-year cycle, even though it is commonly described as the remotest planet in the solar system. 选项: A、 Pluto has a highly eccentric orbit,...

To test for convergence, the best case was performed again using 1,000,000 particles. This high-resolution run was utilized for the best case figures (Figs. 2 and 3); however, only negligible differences were observed between the two resolutions, and thus, we deem all our simulations ...
