Anyone else here of this? They apparently defined the word "planet" and Pluto is no longer able to be classified as one. It's now a "dwarf planet" along with Ceres (which is IN the Asteroid Belt) and Eris (which is even further out than Pluto). All hail Wiki! |

I heard about this a while ago, though I can't remember exactly how official it was when I heard it. |

I heard about it. It sounded stupid to me. Apparently planets now need to have their OWN orbit that does NOT intersect with the orbits of other planets or some crap like that. What I'd like to know is how they determine that Pluto is the dwarf planet and not Neptune. Then again, my information could be wrong. |

They found another another satellite farther out than Pluto (Eris) that is BIGGER than Pluto but was not classified as a planet. So they redefined planet and placed Pluto, Eris and Ceres into a new classification. I don't see anything wrong with it. I have no problem with it, I think it's a good idea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_redefinition_of_planet I know I heard about this prior but forgot until I found the Wiki articles. |

And what's the point of saying it's old exactly? I never understood this whole damn fad. The fact that it's old does not mean it's not relevant. It's an interesting bit of information, so I decided to share it. |

Poor little Pluto. No one wants to be it's friend except that fat loser Charon, and now the planets won't let it hang out with them anymore. Sad.

Half of my friends IRL are too busy playing WoW these days... However, I've still got the other half of my friends... Just not so much during summer vacation... |
