Status Updates From How I Killed Pluto and Why ...

"There are rules, decided upon by the International Astronomical Union, for the naming of most everything in the sky. Craters on Mercury have to be named for deceased poets; moons of Uranus are named for Shakespearean characters. For this type of [Brown's newly discovered] object in the Kuiper belt, the rules said that the name had to be a creation deity in a mythology."

Really loving this book.

"Finding out that something you have just discovered is considered all but impossible is one of the joys of science."

Poor old Pluto. But hey, I didn't know that Mike Brown is from Huntsville.
