Double planet arguing that Jupiter is a double star is "not" analogous to arguing Pluto-Charon is a double dwarf planet. The problem is that Jupiter is not even a star, or even a brown dwarf, and due to its low mass it is unable to achieve any form of fusion. Isaac Asimov suggested a distinction between planet–moon and double-planet structures based in part on what he called a "tug-of-war" value, which does not consider their relative sizes. This quantity is simply the ratio of the force exerted on the smaller body by the larger (primary) body to the force exerted on the
Dwarf planet history. On March 6, 2015, the "Dawn" spacecraft began to orbit Ceres, becoming the first spacecraft to orbit a dwarf planet. On July 14, 2015, the "New Horizons" space probe flew by Pluto and its five moons. Dawn has also explored the former dwarf planet Vesta. Phoebe has been explored by Cassini (most recently) and Voyager 2, which also explored Triton. These three are thought to be former dwarf planets and therefore their exploration helps in the study of the evolution of dwarf planets. In the immediate aftermath of the IAU definition of dwarf planet, some scientists expressed their disagreement
