Operation Pluto[edit]

Should there be references to [1]? 82.44.143.26 (talk) 16:38, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

It's irrelevant to the mission, and this article is already only tangentially relevant.--ZooGuard (talk) 17:08, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Conservapedia on Pluto[edit]

The article lists only three of the moons; and the In The News has (14/7/15) three references to Pluto being a recent creation - [2] suggesting a Velikovskian birth from Earth creating the Flood. 86.153.165.237 (talk) 21:40, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Young Earth Creationists at it again[edit]

So it seems that within days (or likely hours) of detailed photographs of Pluto's surface being released, some YECs are already declaring it evidence of an early creation, simply because the surface "looks" young. Would anyone like to take a crack at adding a more detailed description of this to the article, as well as a rebuttal? Nergali (talk) 20:47, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Give us some time, as actual science and scientific responses tend to take more time than bullshit.--"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 21:02, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Shadows[edit]

Following on from the successful landing of 'Perseverance' on Mars, with its visible shadow - how much of a shadow would the theoretical Pluto Lander 1 cast? From eg [3] there is 'sufficient light to fit the definition of gloaming.'

Would it be reasonable to assume that PL1 would be doing some Plutonic-geology/soil experiments at both 'local natural light' and 'enhanced/artificial light' levels - as some 'soil chemicals' would only be stable under the former. Anna Livia (talk) 12:58, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Theia mark 2[edit]

Came across this - other sources available. How soon before the fantasies get created? Anna Livia (talk) 18:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
