El baile de los planetas
¿Cuántos planetas hay en el Sistema Solar? ¿Cuál es la definición más idónea? ¿Cómo deben ser llamados? ¿Cómo se aplicaría a los objetos que se están encontrando fuera del Sistema Solar?
Desde mi punto de vista, creo que es un error, es una solución politica más que otra cosa, aunque mis objeciones son limitadas. En cualquier caso, creo que existen dos cuestiones que no se estan tratando adecuadamente. La primera se refiere a los nombres. Creo que deberíamos seguir usando la mitología greco-romana para los planetas del sistema Solar (y por supuesto, no usar nombres de programas de televisión o películas, que solo tienen significado dentro del contexto cultural de una o dos generaciones muy específicas). Por otra parte, la nueva definición debería considerar los casi 200 planetas descubiertos fuera del Sistema Solar, mediante el uso de diversos métodos, y cuyas propiedades en ciertos casos son mu distintas a los «hermanos» de la Tierra. Finalmente, me gustaría saber que ocurrirá con los objetos aislados de masa planetaria (xebarcos o planemos). ¿Son o no son planetas?
PD: Según transcribo esta entrada a MadrI+D, veo que Benjamín escribió sobre este mismo tema la semana pasada. Incluyo el enlace a su texto.

Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at focusalignmenthub extended that quiet win, the cumulative effect of small reading wins versus the cumulative effect of small reading losses is real over time and this site is contributing to the wins side of that ledger.
Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at focusamplifiesgrowth added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.
My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at professionalunitybond pulled me back a third time, the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.
Now feeling the post has earned a proper recommendation rather than a casual mention, and a stop at strategyguided reinforced the recommendation strength, the difference between mentioning and recommending is a small editorial distinction I observe in my own conversations and this site has earned the upgraded recommendation level from me confidently today.
Thank you for keeping the writing honest and the points easy to verify against your own experience, and a stop at actioncompass reflected the same approach, no exaggeration just steady useful content that I can take with me into my own work without second guessing every sentence I happen to read here.
Now recognising the editorial wisdom of letting some questions remain open at the end, and a look at lifelongalliance continued that intellectual honesty, content that does not force closure on contested questions is content that respects the limits of knowledge and this site has clearly developed the maturity to know when to leave space.
Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at heritageunitybond continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.
Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at directionpowersvelocity extended that recommend ready feeling, content that arms me with shareable references for likely future conversations is content with social value and this site is providing that conversational ammunition consistently for me lately.
Without comparing too aggressively to other sources this one stands out for the right reasons, and a look at clarityleadsmovement continued that distinctive quality, content that distinguishes itself through substance rather than style tricks is content with lasting differentiation and this site has clearly chosen substance based differentiation as its core editorial strategy.
Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at focusdirection continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.
Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to claritymotion only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.
Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at growthunlocksprogress reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.
Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at visionarypartnersclub added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.
Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at growthflowsforwardnow maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.
Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at progressstructure only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.
Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at progressformsnaturally closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.
Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at collaborativesuccessbond confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.
Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at focusignition extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.
A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at visionactionloop extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.
The headings made navigating the post simple even when I needed to find a specific section quickly, and a look at actiondeployment continued the same thoughtful structure, small details like clear headings show that someone is actually thinking about how the reader uses the page rather than just filling it for length alone.
Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at directioncreatesleverage gave me more material for that imagined explanation, content that improves my own ability to discuss a topic is content that has actually transferred knowledge rather than just decorating my screen for a few minutes.
