| Pluto is no longer a planet. I've long been a proponent of Pluto's demotion, but I admit that the IAU's proposed scientifically-based definition (that would have added Ceres, Charon, and 2003 UB313 as planet and allowed Pluto to keep its status) appealed to me. Ultimately they rejected that definition in favor of another one, but I'm not really sad to see us back to 8 planets. |
