IAU = International Astronomical Union
I'm posting this question in case we find a new planet. (That's not a resolution criterion. If there is any other change to the number of planets, I will resolve negatively)
Update 2025-09-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Resolves based on the IAU-recognized number of planets at the start of 2026.
Resolves YES if it is exactly 8 at that time; NO otherwise.
1,000
1.00@wadimiusz ...That's not what the title says? Something that happens before 2026 has clearly happened "by" 2026.
@IsaacKing "I'm posting this question in case we find a new planet. (That's not a resolution criterion. If there is any other change to the number of planets, I will resolve negatively)". In other words, I'll resolve YES unless we discover a new planet or destroy Mars or something by the end of 2025. I'm sorry if my command of the English language failed me and I did not grasp the meaning of the word "by" when creating this question as fully as a native speaker would have, but the linguistic pragmatics of the question (making the other interpretation meaningless, because otherwise I'd have to resolve YES as soon as I had created the market), as well as the description of the question, hopefully make the matter clear — see, for example, the other comment about evidence for a ninth planet.
