Do astronomers get as fiery about taxanomy as biologists do? I kind of had the impression they're easy going about naming, just more wary of upsetting young enthusiests. I heard there were many sternly worded letters from 9 year olds, after the demotion of Pluto.

Slightly related, are all the particles in (eg) Saturn's rings wver referred to as moons?
