"Pluto's out," said Michael Brown, the California Institute of Technology astronomer whose discovery last year of a planet-like object called 2003 UB313 reignited the long-running debate over whether Pluto should be considered a planet. "People are going to be unhappy, but it's the right thing to do. This is a great moment in science."

I think I’m drifting away from what I wanted to say. Pluto as a planet was always my favorite cause this was the last planet which I need to remember and write during exams or tests & I had also learnt a secret phrase to remember all the 9 nine planets and I really felt good about it as my classmates tried so hard to re-call these 9 planets in order.
Well, im no longer in school so I can tell you this secret which can earn you 10 direct marks. it goes like this:
MY =Mars
VERY =Venus
EDUCATED =Earth
MOTHER =Mercury
JUST =Jupiter
SHOW =Saturn
US =Uranus
NINE =Neptune
PLANETS =Pluto
Now with demotion of Pluto, I know many Pluto lovers, astrologers are upset but I guess for sometime atleast Pluto will be in everyone’s mind.Hope next time when someone talks about Pluto it won't be Walt Disney's Character “Pluto” Mickey’s best pal!!!!
Steve, thanks for the add. I appreciate it.

Hay, Steve! What about the addition of another ocean back in 2000. I only just heard about this now (I am so behind the times...)
