It's not an asteroid, it's a planet. That's the definition. Pluto failed all the old tests of being a planet anyway.

Lose the antiquated notion that the Solar System is just its 9 most visible inhabitants. Moron.

Read the news, we're back down to 8 now, actually. Pluto is no longer a planet and the other little planetoid things like Charon are now classified as Dwarf Planets with it.

The problem is that, according to the new definition, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and neptune also aren't planets. They all fail the 'clear the orbit of close debris' requirement.

Jupiter alone has over 10,000 asteroids sharing its orbit, and Earth has a bunch of them at its Lagrange point. Even the NASA scientists pointed this out.

Y HALO THAR THE SOLAR SYSTEM'S PLANETS ARE NOW ONLY MERCURY VENUS SATURN AND URANUS. HURR HURR HURR.

...FAIL. Fucking moron scientists.

Actually. Pluto was just a fluke. If nobody was trying so hard to look for "Planet X" beyond Neptune, it probably would never have been found.

Not 'clear the orbit of ALL close debris'? They attract foreign objects and removes them from the solar system. That's good enough for me.

I was working under the first resolution vote, which initially resulted in favor of the 12-planet scheme.

FYI, here's the source for the final vote:

It's not as if Pluto just "disappeared", either. A Dwarf Planet is still a planet. If plot sat in kansas half of the US would be blocked of sunlight. It (and UB313) are still the largest bodies in the Kuiper Belt.

I don't really care that pluto's gone from the "classical planet's" list. What I would like to know is what kind of chain of astronomical and educational catastrophe allowed that gigantic faggot nerd to name those celestial bodies "Xena" and "Gabrielle".

I agree that xena and gabrielle are rather retarded names, however they're code names. They are just placeholders put there by their discoverer until real names can be decided and agreed upon.

I kind of liked the names, if only for the possiblity of other goofy names being handed out; like a smaller Joxer planetary object that annoyingly circles Xena every two years.

Oddly enough, you put the word 'planet' in this post. I think the argument is whether it's a planet or not. Whether dwarf, pedo, green, or blinky, if the actual NOUN is a planet, then it's a planet.

Dwarf planet is what? A planet, small.
