Sir: Could it be possible that Patrick Moore and other like-minded astronomers are exhibiting "size-ist"' attitudes to Pluto (The truth about..., 22 January)?
Pluto should not be denied its planetary rights on the basis of its compact proportions. One can only hope that the Roman god of the underworld does not take umbrage at this sudden demotion on the part of his namesake.
