Welcome to the new Solar System!

The problem with pluto being a planet is if we use that as the standard, we would have to accept around 30 other objects as planets as well "/

I think although Pluto isn't exactly massive (as planets go - but it's still bigger than me) it should remain a named planet as it has its own moons. I know not all planets have moons, but the ones that don't are big enough anyway.

Yeah I heard that, quite interesting.
And theres more to that Red, those 3 dont narrow it down :p

What happened to Setna/Sedna ? I remember seeing it on the news a while ago. I t was suppose to be a newly discovered planet or something

Plutos moon is almost the same size as it though, and pluto is orbiting its moon just as much as its moon is orbiting plution, there in a binary oribit aka there both spinning around each other

That's a bit rubbish. If I had a moon I certainly wouldn't let it be as big as me.

Which one is Planet X ?

[louder]

Theyre debating whether pluto is a planet. I dont see the problem though. Is it a sphere? Yes. Does it revolve around the sun? Yes. PLANET.

what he said.

They are supposedly changing the qualifications to be a planet which is the basis of everything. That makes me laugh a little. Yeah these scientists are geniuses and all but they assume that its within their power to declare what is a planet and what is not while we've only sent a manned mission to our moon? Mhm ok, all powerful, yeah. And then they expect the world to abide by it and the crazy part is most will. That men control such an outerwordly thing is kinda strange to me but I'm strange too so yeah.

Anyway, Charon and Pluto are going to be Co-Planets (our all powerful scientists again) as they revolve around each other. And Ceres is the biggest asteroid in the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Saturn I think it was. I didn't hear about 2003 USB2734612635 though. (To those that thought it was strange language, it was probably discovered in '03, USB probably stands for something and its the 2734612635th one (I made the second number up obviously). I saw a newspaper article with the proposed new requirements to be a planet (once again, these things a kajillion times the size of these men are being supposedly classified and controlled by men) but I can't remember the exact stuff. Maybe I'll go find it now

WHICH ONE IS PLANET X? :@
