Scientists find a planet so light it could float on water.
Found this on the Yahoo news headlines:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060914/...c/puffy_planet So Pluto CAN'T be a planet, but this new puffy mass CAN. I say Pluto should sue. Although, you have to love a planet that can be described as "puffy" by the scientific community. You just want to cuddle it.

Ok...I'm getting really sick of whoever descovers these planets...ok you can't just make shit up and call it a planet because it fits under loose guidelines...I'm still really mad that Pluto isn't a planet anymore I mean it's been a planet longer than the guy who decided it wasn't anymore has been alive...Now we have a puffy planet? Planets are not puffy...your eyes are puffy when you wake up in the morning not planets.
and just because I want to cuddle this new planet doesn't make it better than Pluto...Long live Pluto our 9th planet forever! DBS

Think of the education system. All those poster companies better refund the schools for the posters that show "Pluto" as a planet. And just yesterday, and the day before, and all the other days in recent history. Classrooms have taught children that Pluto is a planet. I'm sorry, but you can't just go up to adults and children and tell us it is no more. Psshhh, if Pluto isn't a planet, then I'm Whoopi Goldberg

I'm pretty sure that Saturn is less dense than water. What I've heard anyways.

It's density, not weight. That thing would be heavier than Jupiter, which is itself around 40 000 times Plutos weight. It may be just helium but it is an almost incomprehendable amount of it.
And you're right Elflad, Saturn would float as well.

Any relation to Sean 'Puffy' Combs? Is this the OG bling planet? Does this planet, persay, stand for materialist consumption and exorbitant displays of wealth?
Dare I suggest that its chemical composition may even be Cristal?

Hmmmm...
This planet strikes me as Kirbyish. But also it's a little bit Puff Daddyish. Mostly I'd say this planet is Willie Nelson. Yeah! This planet is pretty good!

*scratches head*
Why the sudden fetish on naming and throwing away planets? I mean, did they say "whoops, since we demoted pluto we don't have nine planets...OMIGOSHMUSTHAVENEWPLANETNOWNOWNOW!!" Or maybe they're bored and decided to randomly rewrite the borders of our solar system map? ....... ....Phantom planet is quilted for softness! |
