I mean seriously, are there really 12 planets now? Cause I really dont think they are gonna start teaching the second graders there are 12 of them now. I think this is just a bunch of a crap, and people will always say there are just 9 planets.

I just heard that these three new planets are not technically planets. I think this makes a lot of sense. If we accept every little tiny rock out there in space as a planet, we're going to have 57 planets by the end of this month.

You mean that people will stick with outdated information?
Like how people are still saying that the world is flat, or that the sun and everything else revolves around the earth, or how life can just spontaneously create itself as seen by fly's appearing where things have died?
I totally agree, it seems that we never will advance when it comes to knowledge, staying with the tried and true information from the past.
Sarcasm aside, I'm all for the idea of 12 planets. It makes sense, especially if your into astrology.
Love as always,

There used to be just 8 planets until the mid 1900s, Pluto was a recent discover. I personally think they need to totally reclassify the planets, like I have heard some talk of as an alternative.

It is not official yet next week the International Astronomical Union will vote on a proposal to add 3 more planets
