... Indeed, in a number of cases, when studying the motion of celestial objects one should take into account both gravity and repulsive force of light pressure. ... For the first time it was V. V. Radziewsky who stated and solved some prob­ lems in dynamics of particle's of the photogravitational problem. In the pho­ togravitational three--body problem, formulated by him, in contrast to the clas­ sical problem, one of primaries or both of them are the sources of light repulsion. ...

... There has been a heated public discussion in the past few years about whether our ninth planet is really deserving of the name. Since Pluto orbits a star, and is much less luminous, it certainly satisfies the definition we have above. The problem is actually not with Pluto, but with a very large number of other bodies in our Solar System which also satisfy this definition, but which are not called planets. Perhaps the most notable of these is Ceres, the largest asteroid. ... Planet . ...
