    Wait one of Pluto’s year and see what it’s standing will be.

    A dwarf planet is still a planet, just as a blond person is still a person.

    At least they had the decency to wait until after Clyde Tombaugh was dead.

    Before we know it, the IAU will reduce that to a moment of silence.

    Our thoughts and prayers are somewhere on Pluto, a ‘small’ planet.

    It was such a rigorous debate, the way a planet is define, the only planets in the universe orbit the Sun, not a star.

    here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAU_definition_of_planet

    is in orbit around the Sun,has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape), andhas “cleared the neighborhood” around its orbit.

    No idea what all those other rocks are. Good job all.

    It will always be a planet to me. And – they didn’t change Micky’s dog’s name, did they?

    Little People everywhere must unite to protest Pluto’s demotion. For surely it will follow that little people will be demoted to dwarf humans, with dwarf paychecks and dwarf rights. Little People unite and burn down the evil IAU. We must defend Pluto’s right to full planetary status and demand that one’s size must never diminish one’s rights. Or else lose your rights. Little People everywhere unite!! Join the fight.

    Just because it’s puny, that’s no cause to demean it.

    Reminder: Pluto has no feelings to hurt, and even if it did, it wouldn’t know about this.

    When Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf, he had to go live with Snow White.
