"does that mean then that if I look up through my telescope and see pluto overhead it actually won't even be in the night sky at that time, but rather 102 degrees away from where I see it?" --mrjesse
I haven’t done the calculation but it appears that LeGrande has the principle correct.
Answer the question, yes or no.
I already did. It depends on "when" you look at Pluto. The 102º is close to the maximum angular disparity. If you want a precise yes or no answer you will have to answer my "when" question.
Are you prepared to answer my question? If not, why not?
All right LeGrande, mrjessse asked a simple question.

Answer the question, yes or no.
Enough beating around the bush.
A better question about Pluto is why is it no longer considered a planet?
And since some astronomers disagree with the powers that be majority, is it or is it not a planet? Who deides? After all, I keep hearing the minority are protected from the majority by our Constitution!
And how do they teach in school one day pluto is a planet, but the next day that it is not, when Pluto didn’t change at all?
Who gets to decide these things?
Is science concensus?
What happens when exactly half agree and half disagree with Pluto’s newfound demotion?
What happens when someone decides Pluto should lose it’s name all together since it’s no longer worthy?
