| This Just In: Scientists decide PlutoÂ’s no longer a planet |
| 2006-08-24 |
| PRAGUE, Czech Republic - Leading astronomers declared Thursday that Pluto is no longer a planet under historic new guidelines that downsize the solar system from nine planets to eight. Well that didn't last long. All the planets that were added a week ago--Charon, Ceres, etc.--are now |

| #9 Makes a lot moe sense than adding three more. Besides Pluto has an irregular orbit (it's sometimes closer to the sun than Neptune), and it's orbit is not even in the plane of the ecliptic. |
