The Story of Pluto by Elaine Scott, what did you find interesting, surprising, or confusing? Explain your reasoning. Support your response with evidence from the text. en-us 2018-03-15 16:45:51 UTC 2018-03-23 13:35:14 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245438213 In the story “Ideas That Work ... and Those That Don’t” from When is a Planet Not a Planet? The Story Of Pluto. I found it confusing that people kept changing their mind over and over again about planets and what was a planet. This was surprising because I have heard a bout Pluto but not about any of these other planets changing from being a planet and then to a non planet. Something that I had found interesting was that they bring up the process of a experiment and how somethings you have to change your theory and then they went into all the planets and all. Something that I found interesting was they end with “But in time, there were problems with Pluto. I wonder why they ended with Pluto having problems, and not something else. I was wondering why they called the ninth planet before being found Planet X. I wonder why they choose that name out of all of the other names that they could have called that planet. ]]> 2018-03-23 13:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245438213 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245440236 2018-03-23 13:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245440236 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245440361 I found it surprising that there were many planets that were found and then they had problems and weren’t considered planets anymore, like Ceres. I bet most of us weren’t familiar with the old planet Ceres which is another thing that I found interesting. I’d like to know more about Ceres since it’s very old and I don’t really know a anything about it besides what we learned in the article.]]> 2018-03-23 13:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245440361 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245440471 I found that the combat between theories was very interesting because scientist contradict, or challenge one another’s ideas with new information. The text claims that scientists have to be flexible because their theories are contradicted and they have to adapt to that. This shows how ideas bounce back and forth. Also the text claims that everyone operated in one theorie until 1781 where William Hershel proved them wrong. This proves how new information contradicts and changes origins, theories.]]> 2018-03-23 13:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245440471 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245440476 In the text “The Story Of Pluto” I found it surprising that asteroids were first considered planets. It seemed normal then, but the thought of it now is just a little surprising.]]> 2018-03-23 13:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245440476 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245440706 I found the amount of times people changed their mind about the planets surprising. This was surprising because I had already heard about Pluto being demoted, but I had never heard about the other planets who had been named planets then decided not planets. For example Ceres being named a planet but then, being demoted to an asteroid]]> 2018-03-23 13:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245440706 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245440776 Something that I had found interesting was how many times the amount of planets in the solar system has changed. On lines 46 and 47 the text states “So Ceres was demoted. And the solar system returned to eight planets.” This can show that when Ceres was said to be a pretty big asteroid and not a planet, and the amount of planets in the solar system had changed once again. Additionally on lines 60 and 61 the text shows “the smallest and farthest planet, Pluto. But in time, there were problems with Pluto. This proves that when Pluto was called a planet, scientist realized later that it was a dwarf planet and it didn’t count as one in the solar system after all. Therefore what I had found interesting in the text was how many times the amount of planets in the solar system had changed.]]> 2018-03-23 13:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245440776 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441135 In the story “Ideas that Work… and those that Don’t” from When is a planet not a planet, the story of Pluto” I found many things confusing, surprising, and interesting. What I found interesting was astronomers thought that asteroids were planet, and then a few years later they changed their minds, and then placed Ceres and other planets just like in the category of being an asteroid.What I found interesting was that over the years, astronomers found new planets, so there theory and mindset of how many planets had to keep changing. One thing I found suprising ad Well was how the Lowell observatory continued on, and how Clyde Tombaugh continued Lowell’s work, and found ‘Plant x’ Pluto. ]]> 2018-03-23 13:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441135 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441303 2018-03-23 13:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441303 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441443 What I found surprising was people used to think Ceres was a planet. It is much smaller then other planets and dosnt look like other planets so it should be clear that it is not a planet but astronomers didn’t think that and categorized it as a planet.]]> 2018-03-23 13:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441443 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441481 I found it confusing in the text where they call Pluto first an asteroid, then a planet, then again an asteroid. They first said in the text that Giuseppe Piazzi found a planet he called Ceres. Ceres was a small planet. Then they said in the text that there was an asteroid that was on its own orbit, and that Ceres was traveling in the asteroid orbit. Then they called Ceres an asteroid. This didn’t make sense because they kept going back and forth about what they were going to call Ceres, or Pluto.]]> 2018-03-23 13:21:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441481 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441536 In the article I found it surprising that they didn’t mention that there is possibly another planet in our solar system (which is thought to be quite big unlike Pluto). Another thing I found confusing is that mercury and Venus were found before the asteroid belt. Finally I also found it surprising that they didn’t mention the other dwarf planets (Charon, Eris, Makemake, etc.) and I didn’t really find anything confusing.]]> 2018-03-23 13:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441536 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441660 One thing that I found interesting in this article, is that Pluto was only found less than 100 years ago. I guess my thinking had just been that we had known about all of the planets for a long long time.]]> 2018-03-23 13:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441660 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441693 Based on my reading of “Ideas That Work...and Those That Don’t” from When is a Planet Not a Planet? The Story of Pluto, I found it interesting that until 1781, everyone operates own the theory that Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were the only planets in our solar system. I found this interesting because it shows how far we’ve come since then.]]> 2018-03-23 13:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441693 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441704 I found the entire process of our understanding of our own solar system to be interesting and surprising. It is incredible how much we have advanced and how much the solar system has changed since 1781. We started off only knowing of 6 planets, but now we have 8 and how many different things in space that we have identified and realized they weren’t planets. For example, they talk about how they
discovered Ceres, now known as an asteroid, they thought that it was a planet and so were the other asteroids, but they found they were all a part of the astroid belt and were not planets. This shows how there was so much evolution, discovery, and identification throughout time that enhanced our understanding of our solar system.

I found this surprising because I would have thought that the astronomers would have just found all of the planets at once, maybe twice. For example, the text explains that it took many attempts to find all 9 planets. Based on what we know, the information that we have now can be wrong, since we were wrong multiple times in the past. There could be way more planets then nine. That is what I found surprising about this text.

If the results don’t disapprove the hypothesis, they ask other scientists to test their hypothesis also” in line numbers 9 and 10. This was interesting because I didn’t know that other scientist test other scientists hypothesis to create a theory. I thought that only one scientist tested it out more than once instead of more than once but with another scientist.That is what I found interesting in the text, “Ideas That Work...and Those That Don’t”.]]> 2018-03-23 13:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441862 mattkingoflolz12345 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/mbdktz0lee03/wish/245441991 What I found very interesting in the text, Ideas That Work... and Those That Don't" from When is a Planet Not a Planet? The Story of Pluto by Elaine Scott, is that they had all of these predictions over the years about certain things that were planets, like thinking Ceres was a planet, white then it was really an asteroid with others. But I never knew that Mars, Earth, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn were the only planets, and in 1781, Uranus was discovered. 1781. Take note that this was about 300 years ago. And then they found Neptune in 1845, and Pluto in 1930.

The Story of Pluto” what I found surprising is that there used to be a planet called “Ceres” but it was very small so the astronomers considered it as an asteroid so there were now 8 planets.
