Looks like we will all have to go back to school again.

Ceres used to be a planet, but was downgraded a long time ago.

'Xena' is the only really new discovery, it was also the one that raised the debate over what a planet actually is

they're thinking of removing pluto's planet status.

yay.
and there has been debate over pluto since forever.
i don't care how many planets are swinging around me as long as this one tries not to DIE.

I wonder how astrologists are going to deal with this. they make big money on predicting fortunes based on the 9 planets, so how do they deal with 12? Are they going to say only the 9 that were decided on in the 20th century are important, or will they build in the new planets (thus implying that their predictions were inaccurate with only 9 previously).

in another change of direction, seems that there will now be a extra clause added to the definition of a planet which would mean that we would actually be reduced down to 8 planets

The key point being that the object has to be the dominant body in it's orbital area, so as Pluto crosses Neptunes orbit, that would eliminat Pluto as a planet. Not sure what that eliminates Ceres, maybe it is too close to Mars?

i think there will always be debates on the planets no matter how many rocks are floating around us. and i think andromeda is going to join us a lot later than 3000 years from now. i remember learning about that last semester. but we'll all be dead long before that, needless to say.
and my chi is out of balance due to UB313's proximity to neptune's aura.
hmm...no.

yeah that's called dying.
but i want to be frozen like on futurama and then be brought back way farther into the future cuz its kinda boring right now. i mean, crap is happening and all that but i'd rather see what kind of new stuff is invented and discovered and...stuff.

hmmm but their bodies are made for that. i don't know. if they can figure it out before i get all wrinkly then i definitely want in that program. there are these idiots here that have their bodies frozen after they die so that some day they can be brought back to life or something and i'm like...i don't think it works that way people...no. lol man. anyways i think death just weeds out the morons, why would i want them to be brought back later?
anyways i just want to live in a time where i can go to the moon thats all. commercial flights to the moon!!

yeah but i don't have that kind oif cash just lying around the house and even then i want to jump around on the moon. i mean, going into space would be cool and all, but i wanna land on something. and have fun on it.
