Yes I did read the link. No need to be rude. This is a debate/discussion in one of my classes, and the question is generate thought beyond Wiki. Just because Wiki doesn't mention it, doesn't mean those people mentioned didn't do what was said.

Obviously this new discovery is not enough on its own to conclude it is a planet, but in conjunction with other factors, its a little hard to deny that Pluto acts very much like a planet. Pluto has also been found to have an ion tail. It appears that the more data they uncover, the more Pluto...

I understand that Fraunhofer's measured wavelengths of spectral lines and that he had scribed a diffraction granting with 50000 grooves per inch and had used it for that purpose, getting results for the sodium doublet close to modern values. Regarding his procedure, was he the first or was it...

Do you think that new discoveries about how Pluto interacts with the solar wind suggests that Pluto should be reclassified as a planet?

Hey, thanks for that suggestion I will look into it. It's postgrad level but a short report in comparison to others. Do you think "is Pluto a planet?" an appropriate topic? I am new to science, with a law background so a little unsure as whether that's acceptable. Thanks

Hi, I am wondering what are some good ideas for a first year undergraduate science research project? I am majoring in Astronomy so am after some ideas. My special interests are Pluto, Black Holes and of course Planet X.

who was the first person to discover how to measure the wavelength of absorption lines in the solar or stellar spectra and what method was used?
