... 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 . ...

Two major reasons: the number of stars isn't really seven (it's many more), and they all have different brightnesses, so that you see more or fewer of them depending on viewing conditions. The brightness of stars is measured on the magnitude scale, where the most prominent stars in the sky are around 1st magnitude, and the faintest you can see with your eye are about 6th. ... I think this makes it quite likely that the list will be truncated at Taygeta, giving six visible stars. ...

. The elementary methods (that is, the use of real analysis vs. complex analysis) have a long history from Chebyshev to modern times. They lead to great achievements, due to Erdos, Selberg, Bombieri, etc. I recently started a thorough study of these methods, in order to understand their scope. In the talk, I will give a quick survey of this field, and some new observations. Go to the Laboratoire Poncelet home page. Site design by Paul Zinn-Justin
