      Those are more of a binary planet than a planet and satellite, to be fair. And that’s even before we get into the whole planet vs dwarf planet debate.

      (For the record, I think Ceres should also count as a planet)

        Ceres is the issue. People are pissed that they learnt the list of planets and now it’s different, but don’t realise the only viable options were to either drop the last one or add a bunch of them, some right in the middle.
