Yeah - it's a dwarf planet now. :/ Not sure what to think about it...maybe dwarf planets will someday seem about as groovy as classical.

From here

"Dwarf planets are not planets under the definition, however."

Boo!

Yet they still call them planets? Why no "Dwarf bodies" or something. Instead they give you an out by saying it's not a planet, but it has planet in the name.

Wow that is so strange!

Next they'll make us go metric for reals :-o

This makes me cry :( I like Pluto.

Actually, I don't think Pluto's gotten so much attention and love until there was talk of demoting him.
