Category:Astronomical objects

Astronomical objects are celestial bodies current science has confirmed to exist in the universe. This does not necessarily mean that more current science will not disprove their existance. Some astronomical objects, such as Themis and Neith are, in light of more recent findings, considered not to exist at all. Others like Pluto and Ceres prove to be of an entirly differant nature than first expected. In these cases, the scientific community must come to a consensus as to the new status of these objects. Obviously, not all scientists will agree; this gives birth to fringe science. However, fringe science is not always bad science. Some of our most fundimental scientific theories, such as the superstring theory and plate tectonics, were once considered fringe. Even in the mainstream community, new ideas are constantly changing the way we view the universe at large. Astronomical objects thought to exist based on scientific evidence are considered hypothetical.
