Give it a few more weeks when North Korea get their act together.Have we all been vapourised yet?
Chuck Norris has agreed to roundhouse it out of our atmosphere. Panic over peoplehttp://www.express.co.uk/news/nature/576300/Asteroid-1999-FN53-Earth-May-14-mass-extinction-NASA
A collision would be nothing short of catastrophic triggering mass destruction, earthquakes and global extinction.
1.5 billion people would be killed if the asteroid hit
Probs be bullcrap
More chance of an asteroid wiping us out marrowGive it a few more weeks when North Korea get their act together.
So a dwarf planet is like a lad who thinks he's hard pushing the little planets out of the way then f***ing off quick when the bigguns turn up
So just to clarify - I understand the above stuff but... If a question asked is "What is the smallest planet in the solar system?", is Pluto still a perfectly fine answer..?Pretty much. More like a lad that only ever hangs out in a crowd and never tries to become the alpha of the group by bullying the others, whereas a planet is a proper alpha male that makes all the other smaller objects in its path its bitches.
I'm sure a couple of the other planets in our solar system have bigger moons than Pluto

I'd say Pluto just from sheer bloodymindedness.Indeed! A few are bigger than Mercury too...

Depends on who's asking. If it's a pub quiz and the guy asking the questions isn't particularly scientific then yes, though the actual proper answer would be mercury.
Nice one marra
Aye but that doesn't make moons planets and vice-versa, ye div.Nice one marra
Yeah I know I made a throw away comment earlier in the thread that was quite factually untrue but I corrected my comment really quickly, I don't want to be seen to be talking shite on here.Aye but that doesn't make moons planets and vice-versa, ye div.
At least they'll have something to cheer about!At some point the express will get one of these end of days predictions right

I do this whenever someone says Edison invented the lightbulb. It triggers me.If it was me and it came up in a pub quiz I'd probably say something like...
"Mercury (Pluto is smaller but is NOT a planet, it's a DWARF planet, which is different to a planet, so if the quizmaster says the answer is Pluto he is WRONG!!!)"
As we used to say in the bad old days of the Cold War...http://www.express.co.uk/news/nature/576300/Asteroid-1999-FN53-Earth-May-14-mass-extinction-NASA
