Who do these guys think they are? This International Astronomical Union thinks they are THE "IT" people when it comes to all things heavenly! I grew up believing their were NINE planets (Pluto included). It needs to stay that way. Yet another example of scientists being so concerned about whether they CAN do something, they didn't stop to ask whether they SHOULD do that thing.
I mean, after all, the crap they pass off as science is pseudoscience anyway. Their definition of a planet is as follows:
"a planet not only must orbit the sun and be large enough to assume a nearly round shape, but must "clear the neighborhood around its orbit."
That just seems a little vague to me. Bad science.
Based on these qualifications, Pluto "lost" it's classification as a planet....stupid...
They act like they just kicked Pluto out of the solar system for not being a planet. As one scientist put it, "it ain't over".
Will we ever stop worrying about things that aren't so important, and get back to the things that really are?
