Obligatory:

Interestingly enough, William Herschel, the preeminent telescope maker of his day, was the first to observe Uranus’ rings. However, no one else was able to replicate his findings (ie, nobody else ever saw them), so it was passed off as an error. It wasn’t until the late 1970s, when the rings were definitively observed

The only thing that prevented Google Glass from being successful was the fact that they put a camera in it. If they took the camera out, or failing that, if they put a rather obvious recording light on the thing, all the privacy issues would have evaporated.

I’m assuming that was just a commercial, right?

Yep. I went there.

Sorry, but what the hell is this thing? And why aren’t they in a flight suit like everyone else?

That’s exactly what it is.

Fun fact: In the non-canon novelization of Return of the Jedi, Owen was Obi-Wan’s brother.

Actually, according to dictionary.com, “reindeers” is acceptable, although it does sound weird to me.

Shouldn’t that be the other way around, since Star Trek 6 came out first?

Fair enough, but you can’t deny there is a certain irony at play here.

That’s the thing about science. People freak out because scientists discover something new that contradicts what was said before. They don’t realize that this is how science works. You follow the data wherever it leads. This isn’t politics- flip-flopping is just fine, provided they are backed up by evidence. A hundred

It’s not a question of trusting the scientists, it’s a question of the accuracy of their evidence and the conclusions drawn from them. These people could be total nut jobs, but if their facts are correct and the conclusions incontrovertible, then we may have another planet in our solar system. That’s also a salient

Can you enlighten us as to the errors? We loose readers would like to know. (Sorry, couldn’t help it.)

Beat me to it.

I don’t understand this whole “dwarf planet” designation. Why is that not considered simply another class of planet, along with terrestrial, gas giant and ice giant?

The thing is, it seems to me that every one of your suggestions requires an act of Congress. I think that is the salient point here.

We know the Inquisitors have a larger part to play in all of this, but would the Supreme Leader of the new Star Wars saga really be introduced on a Disney XD show? I don’t think so.
