Guys, chill out.
We (as in amateurs) do astronomy because literally we "love" this stuff...and that is fantastic and should be encouraged.
But sorry: a minor planet discovery, light curve, supernova, comet discovery etc. is from my perspective: "fluff and stuff' ....and that I did not intend as derogatory.
My point, for example, is simply this: very gifted amateurs don't have the gear (aka. big enough hammers) to observe the spectrum with sufficient detail or precision to observe, for example, that fact that the Universe's expansion is accelerating.
The latter changes our perspectives on Astronomy.
Another minor planet? well...cool. but I'll let the readers decide as to it's overall importance.
