Modify or Deprecate: Chaos (kuiper belt object) #325

Closed katieefrey closed 3 years ago

Chaos (http://astrothesaurus.org/uat/222) needs an updated pref name to add context and disambiguate it from disorder/unpredictability.

Suggested Changes: (19521) Chaos 19521 Chaos Chaos (Kuiper belt object)

Is it a notable KBO? if not, might be best to deprecate it.

katieefrey commented 3 years ago

I'm inclined to deprecated this concept. 19521 Chaos doesn't seem to be particularly noteworthy or well studied.

katieefrey commented 3 years ago

Almost all instances of chaos in ADS are about "disorder." This concept causes more confusion (hah) than its worth. Deprecating.
