Today Pluto lost its Planet status...



It just feels wierd.

IT SHOULD BE AS IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN! ;)

I agree I think it should have remained as a planet. It will be confusing now to have lost it as one.

I know Isn't it mad? I can see a rapid sale of tippex/whiteout to remove the "planet" from all those old school text books

Still, I suppose it is one less planet to remember

peh, I'm just glad physics is behind me now and no more having to think about it its very confusing when all around you people are arguing its not a planet, but for the sake of an exam youve got to see it as one...BUT NO MORE PHYSICS!

got to be sad to be demoted from a planet to just being a lump of rock. poor pluto.

So what is it now then?

It is now considered a dwarf planet.

It does feel weird, considering you grow up until this point in time learning that Pluto is one of the planets in the solar system ... and then it's not.

nowandagain [rockon]

what the heck..

just a couple of days there was a CNN news reporting that there's a 10th planet. so if pluto is not a 9th planet anymore doesnt it make the new planet the 9th planet... right?


found a nasa article about the 10th planet

I think that this is really wrong.

Kids in school now.. & .. well.. You should get the point.

I mean, after so long of it being a planet they just say its not?

I think this is wrong..

Oh well.

Thats weird now theres just 8 planets in our solar system! Scientists always have to go and confuse things!
