[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Just to chip in with my 2�... one thing that occurred to me several years ago is, what would any hypothetical extraterrestrial intelligence think if they received a map of, or else discovered and were mapping, our solar system? Which objects would they consider significant? For example, since everyone's making a fuss over Pluto, I wonder what any aliens might think if they ever find the [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:PPlaqueLarge.png]Pioneer 10 plaque[/URL] and start looking for a system with nine planets, when they should only be looking for eight. Aliens might not consider Pluto at all significant because it's much smaller and is essentially a glorified asteroidal comet. [/QB][/QUOTE]
