Hi all, found this interesting,2,500 astronomers/experts are in Prague this week and have decided the Pluto is no longer a planet,they argue it belongs with the population of small `dwarf planets` and they will now change school books to having only 8 planets.Just find that interesting after all these yrs thinking we have 9 planets,pluto was 1st discovered in 1930 by american Clyde Tombaugh,,oh well the universe will not be the same with out you pluto(lol) oh its named after the god of the `underworld` in roman myth,,.

LOL at Bobin! ;D I can't believe that they are changing all of the school books over this really. Even though Pluto is smaller than all of the other 8 planets. Oh well, whatever.

Hi, Well size counts (lol).honestly it has to do with other factors like pluto entering the next planet orbit and pluto`s moons and stuff like that,so its now a dwarf planet,I`ll miss it,but yes Bobin pluto is still a dog at Walt Disneys studio, ha ha.
