I have been following this debate and it looks like the way that planets are categorised is going to be changed. What it does mean is that Pluto will still be a planet and 3 more will be added to the new class.
We have been teaching our 2yo DTS about the solar system and they can now recognise all the planets. However, Pluto as well as Mars were the first ones that they remembered so I was a bit concerned about having to explain to them why Pluto was no longer considered a planets if Plutos' detractors had got their own way.
Anybody else out there with an interest in astronomy?
Out of interest, if Pluto had been declassified from being a planet, what impact would this have had on astrology?
