And they took him off and NASA said that we now have 8 planets!
I can't believe that!

I think it's stupid they should have left it as a planet.

That is soo weird. I heard it on the radio this morning. You can't just go in and change something like that after all these years. Regardless if it is "technically" a planet or not, I think they should just keep it because that's what everyone has learned for YEARS. I hate all this technicall stuff. Who cares...its not like anyone is really that concerned that it is too small or anything. Poor Pluto. We will always remember you as the last, blue, million-degrees-below-freezing planet. : )

Planet-A nonluminous celestial body larger than an asteroid or comet, illuminated by light from a star, such as the sun, around which it revolves.
The definition of Planet is vague that astronomers have been arguing over the classification of a planet. They are basing their opinion that pluto is not a planet based on its size and orbit

I heard about that. I'm still not sure what to think. I was always taught that Pluto was a planet, too. What is it now, anyways? A comet that got separated from the Oort Cloud?

Its okay, we have to change. Do not stick to do tradition. Just like in the past people use to think that the earth is flat, but actually it is round. Now they have found bigger rocks bigger than pluto. Then let it be. There is a fact. I don't care whether it had been this way for the past 70 years. Blessed are those who are able to change. Hallelujah!

Bah, it's all relative.
Kinda of like how many people does it take to create a "city"
5,000 years ago a city of 20,000 people was a massive booming megalopis. Now its considered a medium small town.
It's ok for you to disagree with the "experts" ya know!
And its funny you call Pluto a "him".

I never really understood why it was a planet at all if it is smaller than our moon. I am fine with it going away. One less thing for kids in elementary school to remember. And it is a nice piece of trivia for games and such.
