Smiley Posted February 26, 2018 Report Posted February 26, 2018 Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EST) March 3rd, 2018 -- 01:30 A.M. (GMT) March 4th -- for a discussion of "Pluto Tells All" by John Scalzi. This story is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek examination of the decision by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Accepted by the U.S.Committee for Astronomy and Astrophysics to redesignate Pluto as "a dwarf planet". If celestial bodies could talk, what would they think of arbitrary decisions about their status? This story answers that burning question. My best description of the tale is -- as in the words of my sainted grandmother -- "It's a hoot." The story is available on line at: https://subterraneanpress.com/magazine/spring_2007/fiction_pluto_tells_all_by_john_scalzi As usual, the chat will be in the #readers_corner chat room on Koach.com Webchat: http://koach.com/chatlogin.php?chan=readers_corner mIRC Users: /server -m chat3.koach.com:6667 -j #readers_corner I hope to see you all at our chat.
