Well, if I remember correctly, either Clive Tombaugh or Percival Lovell found Pluto as a result of perturbations in the orbit of Neptune thus suggesting that another planet/ body was further out. This resulted in the discovery of Pluto, so if it isn't a planet, why did it have the necessary "pull" to produce these discrepancies in the orbit of Neptune. I therefore think it should be accepted as a planet, especially as it has a moon "Chinon?" circling it.

I am offended that NASA is listening to a few jerks who can't accept that there are more planets in the solar system than they originally thought... and no, they would be better off renaming URanus! lol

a bunch of conventions in the last 100 years need not make some rock, a planet. so if we consider the ancient conventions that are ther for thousands of years pluto should never have been called a planet.

I think re-classifying Pluto shows that science is continually correcting itself as it learns. Pluto isn't a planet, it's a big chunk of rock & ice. People shouldn't get upset, it's not like they've proven there's no Easter Bunny!

Rename Uranus?
... And deprive adolescent males a source of endless lame jokes?
Even if NASA was in the business of naming astronomical bodies ... and it's not ... they are not that heartless.

Pluto not being a planet makes me sad.

thats messed up! does it really matter when it was created? its still revolving around the sun and counting years right?!?!? i think its a planet but the dumbest part i heard was that it is too small and far away to exert any gravitational force on any other planets. and btw, you should delete the answers that say " this is gay".
