Pluto
At the time of his death, Sichao was working as a researcher at Nanjing's Zijinshan Astronomical Observatory.[1]
In an interview with Xinhuanet, Sichao commented on the International Astronomical Union's 2006 vote over Pluto's status as a planet:
The demotion is a scientific result and it reflects the current understanding of humankind about the solar system ... We must first get a clear definition of planets and the solar system, then we can carry out planetary probe missions in a better way.
— Wang Sichao, [1]
UFO opinions
Sichao stated that he believed extraterrestrial aliens exist and that their UFOs have the ability to visit Earth. He also criticized the opinion of British astronomer Stephen Hawking that an encounter with such aliens would be disastrous.[2][3]
