I can see why they no longer call it a planet, what's the cutoff for asteroid size?
It is still a dwarf planet. Basically when it hits hydrostatic equilibrium, i.e. when it's round, it is considered a dwarf planet. More here
That's awesome. And to think, it's only slightly less inhospitable in Australia!
The Alice Springs Pluto Observatory has opened considerably under-budget.
In future news; Donald X Musk III, worlds first quintillionare, decided to alter Pluto's orbit to collide with Mars "Becauth it would be thoo cool!".
TIL australia has hydrostatic equilibrium.
I'm digging the way the map shows Tasmania as part of the continental plate.
Is it on purpose or is it because of ocean depth?
The light blue part is shallow and when it's underwater, they call it "continental shelf".
Tasmania and mainland Australia are connected by the same, shared continental shelf.
Do it.
