What with some planets being downgraded to asteroids, and some asteroids being upgraded to planets, does anyone know the actual current number of planets in the solar system? Last I heard, they dropped Pluto because its too small... and then there's a planet further away that Pluto that is really big (Planet X???). Thanks for helping clear this up. If there really ARE new planets, maybe we'll have to re-write the rhyme for remembering the order!
