The article says that it's estimated to have a diameter of 311 miles, which converts to 500.506 kilometers.
Pallas has a diameter of 518 km, Vesta's diameter is 525 km, and Ceres measures at, almost twice its size, at 945 km... even Hyigiea has a diameter of 431 kilometers. All four of these were once considered for "planetary" status by the IAU at one time... yet they decided to downgrade Pluto to less than, though its diameter is 1476.8 miles, that is 2376.67922 kilometers... and Pluto has recently been found to actually be a binary "Planet", to boot...!!!
Well then if this newbie gets dwarf planetary status then so should Pallas, Vesta and Ceres and maybe Hygeia too?
...and as far as I'm concerned Pluto is, always was, and due to the recent discovery of it being a binary Planet, which given the overall diameter of the area covered by the two in tandem, which is substantial, btw, [larger than that of Venus and Mars, if I recall correctly?] PLUTO IS QUITE THE PLANET, and an impressively sized influence of effect in our Solar system.
Thanks for sharing, Bjorkstrand, always good to hear from you.
