By all accounts, my ego can be seen from Jupiter.
Why Pluto is not a planet anymore?
Why is Pluto no longer a planet? | Library of Congress
Answer. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Essentially Pluto meets all the criteria except one—it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects. ”Nov 19, 2019

What does the left side of the brain do for cognitive function?
The left brain is more verbal, analytical, and orderly than the right brain. It's sometimes called the digital brain. It's better at things like reading, writing, and "computations". May 9, 2022
Some people just aren't good at solving problems which if you look at it is kind what chess is a big problem to solve, starting with your first move. 🙂 One the GM's once said if you don't have a plan by move 9 you are just shuffling around pieces.

@divegeester saidIt can, thus, astronauts talking about it.
It cannot be seen with the naked eye from earth orbit.
Other objects are far better viewed from space. Cities can be seen during the day (not only at night) as can major roadways and bridges, airports, dams and reservoirs.
@ghost-of-a-duke said'They' talk a lot, don't they? 🙂
By all accounts, my ego can be seen from Jupiter.
