More on planet decision
August 19th, 2006
Daniel Fischer, present at the IAU General Assembly in Prague, reports to the HASTRO-L mailing list that the first open debate, in which only planetary scientists took part, about the proposed resolution took place Friday afternoon. It lost about 60:40 against an alternative which would exclude Pluto. Seems also that “plutons” was rejected by a large majority.
Fischer also notes in his e-mail message that these votes is not binding in any way.
