Hey anyone know when the next comet is due?  HUMANS --

HEY I HAVE ALMOST NO TYPE TO WRITE BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I AM OK.

THINGS ARE COOL HERE WE ARE HANGING OUT IN THE NEXT LEVEL YOU KNOW LIKE DRE SAID ... ONE THAT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN YET.

(ok, coast is clear.)

Honestly, it is okay up here on the next level. What I really needed to escape was that place they call Earth.  I think one earthling might know who we are, her name is Jacqueline, she is a naughty earth specimen!.  We need to capture the Jacqueline and return the Illudium Pew-36 Explosive Space Modulator!..  

I donned my Black Nikes, drank some Booze, and caught the next Comet to the Next Level.

IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE ME.

How can the astronomers do this to us?

For 75 years we were made to believe that Pluto is the ninth, if farthest, planet in the universe. When Clyde Tombaugh announced the news in 1930, he gave us a new vision of the universe. He rewrote our Science textbook.

In our Science class, we proudly raised our hands when asked about the number of planets. On our test papers, we were quick to identify Pluto as the smallest.

Turned out we were wrong. Turned out we never scored excellent in our Science quizzes. One wrong answer meant one point less from excellence. And we thought we were perfect.

And now the International Astronomical Union has ruled at its convention that Pluto does not meet the definition of a planet. From now on, Pluto shall be known as a "dwarf planet," according to the small-minded astronomers.

Of course we don’t recall the songwriters mentioning Pluto or lovers pining about Tombaugh’s planet. Planet Earth is a winner. Venus, Jupiter and Mars are often mentioned. Never mind Uranus.

We’re taking Pluto’s demotion with a heavy heart. It’s like losing a relative. It will take another 75 years to live down fond memories. Next time the International Astronomical Union meets, we hope a meteor hits the convention site.We hope the astronomers do not reclassify Earth. It is not your usual planet. It’s a very violent place, plagued by wars, pestilence, diseases, hate and natural disasters. It is full of people who love to destroy each other, their environment, their civilization, including the entire world.

If we do not watch out, Earth could follow the example of our second favorite planet, Krypton.

I'm glad to see someone as bothered by this as me!

Well shucks!  I always felt little Pluto was way out there all alone and now we just kicked him out of the line up.  I bet he's going to get a complex...then he's going to need therapy and that is going to cost some money.

I suspicion that most astronomers are looking at the International Astronomical Union IAU to be as useful as the UN and probably give it as much relevance as the UN.

I think most all US astronomers and any other 'real' astronomers will continue to consider Pluto a 'real' planet.

Pluto:    Down But Maybe Not Out

We will not take it.Pluto will always be a planet to me a symbol of Walt Disney.They go to far.What will they eliminatate next.Good lord,I hope they leave Bananas alone.cat

I took astronomy in college.  That was a cool class.  I was taught then that Pluto was probably a moon. I home educate my children and have always taught my kids that we include Pluto as a planet but it really might be a moon... now when they saw that on the news, it all fell into place for them--even though they know now it is really not even a moon     I am glad we have people who study this though--even if they don't come up with the popular answer, at least they are trying to be accurate.  We will always come up with "better" definitions as we have better technology. Who can forget flat earth/round earth?

The unusual nature of the orbits of Pluto and of Triton and the similarity of bulk properties between Pluto and Triton suggest some historical connection between them. It was once thought that Pluto may have once been a satellite of Neptune's, but this now seems unlikely. A more popular idea is that Triton, like Pluto, once moved in an independent orbit around the Sun and was later captured by Neptune. Perhaps Triton, Pluto and Charon are the only remaining members of a large class of similar objects the rest of which were ejected into the Oort cloud. Like the Earth's Moon, Charon may be the result of a collision between Pluto and another body.
