I think the money, time, and effort put into outer space should be put into our planet. How do you feel?

I know that 2003 UB313 is larger in size than Pluto, but does it also share Plutos irratic, not quite circular orbit? I'm pretty certain it does, and I'm pretty certain it would then be considered a plutonian object / dwarf planet, but am I right? Thank you for your answers. ^_^

Due to new planet guidelines Pluto is no longer a planet, and we are a 8 planet solar system now.

and I saw on the front page that in the news, Pluto has officially been demoted from planet status to an "ice dwarf." Now, only 8 planets remain in the solar system supposivly. Is this true?

Pluto is no longer a planet in our solar system. Who can come up with the best sentence to help us remember the new updated order of planets, seeing as "My Very Elegant Mother Just Served Us Nutritious Prunes" et al. are now defunct?

For anyone who doesn't know, the planets are now Mars-Venus-Earth-Mars-Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus-Neptune.

So what people? Does Pluto not being a planet make it any less habitable? Any less likely to support life? Jupiter's a planet. Does that mean that humans can one day live there?

Have you heard the latest research about our 9th planet? PLUTO has been booted out of recognition as a "planet." - Poor Pluto, due to it's "unrecognition as a planetary object" has officially been removed from NASA's observance as such (effective August 16, 2006.)
And here, we were all in expectation to claim it as OURS.
Let's only hope it will not venture out in defiance to form it's own warring factions!

How can we tell given the new definition of planet? We can determine if it orbits a star and estimate its mass. How do we know it has cleared its orbit? It not a good day to be an astronomer.

First we're supposed to have more planets, and then they say we have less than before. Do you feel like the solar system is getting smaller? Why couldn't Uranus be demoted instead, since it has a bad name anyway?

It seemed like a good idea when the guy called on the phone a few years ago, but now Pluto is not even a planet and I feel like I may have wasted my money. That sucks.
