School taught us wrong in astronomy.

[Arseen]

I just learned that in school they taught us knowingly wrong about the order of planets!!!

I was wathing science program and learned that altough we were taught that Neptune is the 8th planet and Pluto the 9th, infact on January 21 1979 Pluto temporarily became the 8th and Neptune the 9th planet from the sun.
On February 11 1999 they crossed back.

So infact during all my school years (1986-1996) the school bullshitted me!!!
And if asked I think most of us have been taught the same.

And yes I know Pluto is no more planet, but back then it was.

Just FYI.

I don't care what they say, Pluto will always be a planet to me.

I have a saying: Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and I am from Neptune

When I first learned that this happened, I wondered, what would happen if they crossed paths at the same time?  I did some reasearch, and because of their orbit paterns, they could never crash into each other.  I was a little disapointed because the thought of two planets crashing seemed pretty cool at the time.

Well in my school they didn't really care about Uranus as they didn't consider it that interesting they didn't touch it.

I'm sick of Uranus jokes.  I say we rename that planet to end the jokes once and for all.  I suggest Urectum.

I found about the order thing because I was checking could they impact, as that would be really awesome.

You're a few hundred years ahead of the curve on this one.

606 years to be exact.

There is actually a lunar eclipse going on right now if your in North America and still awake..go look it just started

Watching it currently.

Planets can crash. There's just not a good possibility of it. Universes can crash together too. NASA showed a picture of it happening.

You mean Pluto and Neptune?
Those 2 will never collide as their tracks don't actually ever cross.
And for them to go off from their tracks would need so big object that it's never going to happen.

Some planets outside our solar system maybe.

i agree on this, and didn't knew that those planet change in some point
