Alas, poor Pluto...

Stardate 6273.42

After much debate and near fisticuffs, the greatest astronomical minds on our lump of rock have decided that Pluto is not, after all, a planet. This will reduce the size of our Solar System to 8 planets, and undo many years of scientific training in classrooms across our globe. I find it interesting that several large asteroids in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter still have achance of becoming planets. Ceres and UB313 both stand a good chance of gaining planetary status, which would suddenly cause another change in our System, up to ten planets!
