   Wait wait wait wait wait wait. They renamed Alpha Centauri a few years ago and nobody noticed? Why was it not a Pluto demotion level event?

     @mike Oh wow... and in 2018 they also renamed Beta Centauri to Toliman! 😲

     @codewiz Rather, Alpha Centauri B, not Beta Centauri, which is a different thing.

     @mike Ah, right. Alpha Centauri is a binary! I've been there a few years ago in my Asp Explorer 😉
