Poor little Pluto, he tried his best, but he just wasn't big enough.

[Wiper]

Hehe, some scientists gonna be mad. Devoting your live to a planet and then find out that it's just a pile of rocks :o

[NightBreed]

Awwww, poor Pluto, it will always be a planet in my book! :wootrock: :D

Everyone in my house lived their entire lives with Pluto as a planet, and now they decide that it's not a planet any more. Poor poor Pluto. Although Ceres and Xena may join the list of planets, Pluto is still a winner to me.:thumbs:

Only problem with that last post is that under the new rules neither Ceres nor Xena will be called planets either, they join Pluto in the list of "dwarfs" in the solar system.

it seems to me like a bunch of astronomers were looking to make a name for themselves and this was the easiest way. How dare they demote Pluto?!
My life no longer makes sense...oops, never did to begin with :D

Pluto is a planet. Sounds like astronomers were bored.

[TheMaster]

Yep, sounds like these "scientists" wanted a new way to make a lot of money and get a lot of attention, so they decided to downgrade Pluto. They can downgrade whatever they want for all I care. PLUTO IS A PLANET!!!!! :thumbs: :thumbs:

Poor Pluto. They are being discrimitory against dwarfs

[<<Hybrid>>]

my bro told me this,, he heard on radio
i'd say thats alot of crap honestly, guys... are those thinkers getting paid just to tell us that pluto is a star only now? (:

c'mon! Bet their wages tripples ours for blablabla

[MassacreAL]

i really dont care if pluto is planet or not, becouse independenly on our thoughts its only small piece of rock that deserves our attention only becouse of histrorical reasons.

[Caged Anger]

I wonder what the guy who discovered Pluto would be saying right now...

[MassacreAL]

maybe he would dry tear and go to discover another planet

[KAT]

well for me being a science nut this whole thing has drove me to do some research to really get why it is no longer a planet.. still havent found out much about it yet, but hope I find enough for it to make sense to me

[FUS1ON]

I have a feeling nerds with blackrim glasses and pocket protectors are getting rich

you saw that too eh Sho? was in morning paper today how many people are trying to cash in on this new thing.

And as for why Pluto was voted off the planetary list, it is supposedly because its orbit is out of sync with the rest of the planets (it crosses paths with Neptune and is on a different plane from the other planets), it is considered too small to be a planet (sorry if they aren't all the size of Jupiter :/), and because they theorize that if it came too close to the sun it would sprout a comet-like tail and also become oval in shape. (THEORIZE!)

I bet it will be reinstated in 50 yrs
