Pluto's Been Demoted
And Micky and Donald are worried
.
Really, I don't understand what all the flack is about. So the former planet Pluto is now a Dwarf Planet. Big Deal. So we now have only eight 'real' planets orbiting around the sun. (Probably used to be nine real if the asteroid belt was a 'real' planet.)
It's just a renaming. If you're into astrology and are worried about what happens to you since you were born under Pluto.... it's still there. It's just the scientific designation that's changed.
And that's the key: science. Science changes with new information. That's how it's supposed to work. If a scientist says that something can't change, they're not a true scientist.
So Pluto's a dwarf. Wonder what they'll call the large objects orbiting around the edge of our solar system beyond the dwarf planet Pluto. (That wasn't so hard to say, was it?)
