Well, Pluto has now officially been stripped of it's planet status.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5282440.stm

I think this is probably a better solution than making dozens of small objects into planets. But I wonder what astrologers will think of it

It's all confusing because they decided exactly the opposite last week. They'll probably change their minds again tomorrow morning. I'm so glad I didn't pick Physics.

I also read in the paper a couple days ago that they were going to vote on whether adding 3 planets. I assume one of those was UB313. So meh.

Well, I know that at one point, I think it might've even been as recent as Monday, they were saying that they'd decided not to demote Pluto, and that UB313, Charon and Ceres were also going to be classified as planets. That's all I know really.

My favourite planet was pluto... I'm not sure why it was my fav...I first heard about it at primary school, when I was about 8, but I liked the idea of a small planet so far away from the sun. It's kinda funny that now all the physics text books and videos will be wrong...

...the only physics text books and videos I've seen at school have been ancient, but I wonder how long it will take for these text books to be changed? O_o

Well schools prefer to skimp on spending money so, basicly they be there for a long time unless the goverment supplies/pays for the new books

Pluto -- the little oddball -- How can it not be a planet any more?? It was always so cool.

But on the other hand, who's to decide? I will always think of Pluto as a planet. So.

But Pluto is my fave Disney character. Why he got kicked? Did he bite Tom and Jerry again??!?

Will i still get to see him in Disneyland Orlando if i visit there??
