There is what I think is a planet in the south eastern sky when you look at it through a telescope it has 2 what may be moons to the right and it looks like another to the left of it. Now the moons could be stars but you cannot seem them with the naked eye you can only see them through the telescope. I have searched for the answer online but cannot find it. It is white and perfectly round. If you look to the east it is to the left of the sunset. Oh someone please help me it is driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.

According to the IAU, a planet must:

• Orbit it's central star

• Be big enough for its own gravity to compact it into a sphere

• Have "cleared the neighborhood around its orbit," meaning it is not surrounded by objects of similar size and characteristics.

OK, Pluto clearly meets the first two criteria, but can someone tell me if there are any planet-sized objects close to Pluto that would expell Pluto from planethood?

It could happen.

I'm confused - as far as I can tell, Pluto (justfully) lost its planethood status due to the fact that its orbit intersects with the orbit of Neptun.

But wouldn't that also compromise the status of Neptun?

Please clarify/elaborate.

I heard on the news that Pluto is smaller than originally thought and smaller than our moon so scientists now don't want it to be known as a planet, but after all this time should we change it? What is a definition of a planet

What are your special thoughts and memories of Pluto?

I enjoyed all the times that it ruled my astrological chart.

*RIP - Pluto: 1930-2006

Personally I think it's stupid. I'm tired of scientist telling us what to think. Every so often they make changes to what they thought it was once right. Next, they'll tell us that the banana is not a fruit, due to the fact that there's no seed in them. Who will keep Pluto as a planet in your minds?

After all this effects all of us (according to the media) so shouldn't we be 100 percent sure it isn't a planet. I would sure hate to see what happens if we find out that we are wrong about this important issue. Think of the minds of the small children that could be corrupted if Pluto really is a Planet afterall.
