The 10th Planet...
Hey everyone! THe 10th plent you didn't know we had in the solar system now has a moon! I would guess in coming days it wouldn't surprise me to learn it also has a sun or rings or likes long walks on jovian beaches at sunset.

Talk about contravercy, this 10th planet thing is getting some astronomers going. I guess it's part of some "extra-planetary space" or something where there are lots of "planitesimals" (small-ish planets that don't really count). Many astronomers feel that Pluto should be counted in this arena as well. We'll see what main stream science decideds...
We'll never loose Pluto. That would take a LOT of campaigning to prove it's not a planet when school children for FOREVER have heard that there are 9 planets and the last one is pluto. Not going to happen. (Well, if we ever switch to the metric system it might happen...)
