It's ridiculous. For a long time people have been saying that Pluto is not a planet. Is it too small? Too far away? Is it the orbit? I really don't know. It's different from the rest, but that doesn't mean you can "erase" it. It'll always be there.
I think it should be regarded as a planet. It's an almost perfect sphere, like the rest, and it's not THAT small compared to asteroids. I think it's more different from asteroids than it is different from the other planet.
It's unfair.

Pluto is TO a planet...Is got an atmosphere, good orbit, and matches the composition of some extrasolar planets (icy super earths, not hut jupiturs) if im correct. And it has three moons! Mor ethan us! It IS a planet! How could they demote it to an "Ice dwarf planet!?"

Maybe the whole thing is a conspiracy between astronomers and book publishers, because now EVERY American school has to buy all brand new science books! Outside of that, science changes. That's just the way it is. We learn new things and have to advance with that knowledge. Luckily, we live in a world that allows that.

I think the creatures on Pluto will start a rebellion, they'll start an army and invade Earth.

Poor Pluto! I think we should ban together and sign a petition to get it reinstated as a planet.

It shouldn't b/c it's still a planet by definition of being another revolving body and has moons revolving round it.

I think it is fun to watch something happen that makes all the the elementary, junior high and high school astronomy books obsolete. This discussion has been going on for a little while and was great to watch and here the outcome!
