@Arkshol93 Neptune going from this to this was a crime against my heart and I can’t forgive it
@lolidk4200 Every planet orbits a larger object, it is called being in the SOLAR (sun) system

The only reason it isnt currently a planet is because we use the IAU definition instead of the geophysical definition.
I reject the IAU definition, and only use the Geophysical definition
