Although 2,500 astronomers from 75 nations attended the conference, only about 300 showed up to vote. It's Not over Yet!

Pluto has not been removed from the solar system! It is still out there orbiting the sun just as is has been for millenia. It has simply been reclassified to not be a planet. This was done because it is very different than the other planets and more similar to Kuiper belt objects that, it was decided, we don't want to classify as planets. Similarly, the asteroids are in orbit around the sun and are part of our solar system, but are not planets. Neither are comets.

i think it is real dumb. We have had 9 planets all my life. How much will it cost to remove Pluto?
