its not even a planet...
| quote: |
The International Astronomical Union has voted to remove Pluto from the solar system--as a planet, that is.
Meeting in Prague over the past week, IAU members rejected a proposal to increase the number of planets to 12 by including Ceres, the largest known asteroid, which orbits between Mars and Jupiter; Charon, which has been considered Pluto's moon; and 2003 UB313, an object nicknamed "Xena" that was discovered in 2005 orbiting far beyond Pluto.
Pluto is now considered a "dwarf planet" because it has an oblong orbit that overlaps with Neptune.
Ceres and Xena will also be considered dwarf planets. Charon is simply one of the "small solar system bodies." |

| I swear it is a conspiracy to make money on new text books. First Christopher Columbus didnt find America and now Pluto has been owned. What's next, imaginary numbers are going to be realized!? |
