Pluto demoted...... again


Poor Pluto! This just in from CNN.com

Leading astronomers have declared that Pluto is no longer a planet, approving new guidelines that downsize the solar system from nine planets to eight. The International Astronomical Union stripped Pluto of the planetary status it has held since its discovery in 1930.

Ok this is the 4th(?) time in the last few years. I hope they REALLY made up there mids this time. Lordy, I can't wait for this argument when my kid is in 3rd grade.... "no, I swear it really was a planet once upon a time." sigh
