    Before, Pluto was just any old planet. Now, it's got clout. It is the first recognized planetesimal, after which all other planetesimals are just a string of oddly-shaped, little followers.

    I'm always floored by stories such as this one. Stars, planets, space in general is just so freaking cool. It always makes me wonder about life in the rest of the universe.

    'cept I don't really wonder about life in other places anymore....just the form it takes :)
    I think it's more probable than not.

    Life on earth is like a house of cards....people have no idea of the odds for all the conditions in our enviroment to be just right to have life. Think of how many variables there are to support life? Very fragile, screw with one of the variables and the whole thing comes crashing down.

    Go to the Hubble websight and scan through the picks in the dark while listening to Nothing as it seems, tell me thats not fucking intense. :D
