Re: Astronomers Dismiss NASA's claim to have found a New Planet (Pasti)

For now let's assume that Sedna's orbit is stable. I'm doing this because the direction I'm going here is in trying to figure out what quantifiers are used to constitute a planet. So right now the argument is anything smaller than Pluto
(on one side)
and even Pluto is too small
(on the other side)

Does anyone know of any agreed upon criteria for the label "planet"?
