If pluto and 'xena' and UB31-whatever are planets, then 100's of other ice balls out in the far reaches of space would also be considered planets. Instead of having 12 planets, you get hundreds of them. I'm not a big astronomer so I really don't care what they make a planet or not but if we have to memorize more and more planets until there's eventually like 1000 of them, then screw it and just leave it at 9.

Ha! The fate of whether or not balls of rock floating in space and whether they should be dubbed "Planets" is dependent on your involvment w/ memorizing them for a science lesson. Not condescending, just thought that was funny. --Fused--

Posts: 65 Group: Member Member #976 Joined: July 23, 2007	I'm not an astrologist, but I think the number of planets shouldn't be dictated by what we're willing to learn in the second grade - people used to learn basic mathematics much further along in their careers, and things like calculus and algebra were university level mathematics, not junior high and high school math. Leave it to the experts to determine what is a planet and what isn't. (Although if I've read the previous posts right, and the MOON is becoming a planet, lyke, wtf guys?) Maybe we'll just skip the planets until high school, where it'll be kind of like chemistry - you don't have to memorize ALL the elements - Just know the useful ones and keep a star chart of planets handy. In conclusion - leave it to the pros, or become a professional and take it up with them.

Epitome of Awesomeness Posts: 2,056 Group: Overlord (ROOT) Member #1 Joined: November 26, 2004 Xbox Live GamerTag : AlmightyTru7h	I'd have to agree with KGaijin on this one. The list of planets in our solar system was originally created by astrologists; they should be allowed to revise it to fit modern knowledge.
