Day 66 of quarantine

The death toll in Italy is slowly decreasing, like the number of those who are hospitalized in intensive care units. Things are getting a little bit better, but there are still many deaths and infected people.

Yesterday, Italy's Prime Minister said that from May 4th the country will start the second phase. But that doesn't mean we'll end the quarantine and be free. Some people will be able to go back to work.

I was supposed to do my final exam this year, but some things changed. I didn't expect that.

I was supposed to do many great things this year. I was supposed to go to a concert, have my finals, go to London with my best friend. I was supposed to visit some universities this month.

This quarantine taught me how to be more self conscious and especially how we shouldn't take everything for granted, cause everything could change in just one day.

What seemed to be so impossible and far from me (when the virus was still in China) became the worst nightmare. I was the first one who thought "it's never gonna get here, it's just a flu, it's not the end of the world". But this pandemic really messed up everything.

This pandemic, this quarantine, made us keep distance from our relatives and our friends. It's been 2 months since I last saw my bff and I miss her so much.

Yesterday I went for a walk with my grandmother (now we can, just if we wear a face mask) and it was so strange. I left my house for the first time after 2 months.

But I know this will be over someday. And I hope everyone, sooner or later, will realize how serious this situation is.

The Science Has Spoken: Pluto Will Never Be A Planet Again

“What’s perhaps most remarkable is that we can make a simple, mathematical relationship between a world’s mass and its orbital distance that can be scaled and applied to any star. If you’re above these lines, you’re a planet; if you’re below it, you’re not. Note that even the most massive dwarf planets would have to be closer to the Sun than Mercury is to reach planetary status. Note by how fantastically much each of our eight planets meets these criteria… and by how much all others miss it. And note that if you replaced the Earth with the Moon, it would barely make it as a planet.”

It was a harsh lesson in astronomy for all of us in 2006, when the International Astronomical Union released their official definition of a planet. While the innermost eight planets made the cut, Pluto did not. But given the discovery of large numbers of worlds in the Kuiper belt and beyond our Solar System, it became clear that we needed something even more than what the IAU gave us. We needed a way to look at any orbiting worlds around any star and determine whether they met a set of objective criteria for reaching planetary status. Recently, Alan Stern spoke up and introduced a geophysical definition of a planet, which would admit more than 100 members in our Solar System alone. But how does this stand up to what astronomers need to know?

As it turns out, not very well. But the IAU definition needs improving, too, and modern science is more than up to the challenge. See who does and doesn’t make the cut into true planetary status, and whether Planet Nine – if real – will make it, too!
