MISSING PLANET! MISSING PLANET! MISSING PLANET! MISSING PLANET!
Forget everything you learnt at school. There are just 8
planets.
Astronomers resolved today, officially, Pluto is no longer a
planet.
"Pluto is not a planet," Caltech researcher Mike
Brown said. "There are finally, officially, eight planets in the solar system." The
decision also means a Pluto-sized object that Brown discovered
will not be called a planet.
The decision
establishes three main categories of objects in our solar system.
- Planets: The eight worlds from Mercury to Neptune.
- Dwarf
Planets:
Pluto and any other round object that "has not cleared the
neighborhood around its orbit, and is not a satellite."
- Small Solar
System Bodies: All other objects orbiting the Sun.
The fact
is, you may love Pluto, but it was a right decision. From now on, the word “planet”
will have some scientific meaning.
