Ceres, Charon And Ub313

"The nine planets of the solar system are about to be transformed into 12, with three new members being added to the exclusive club of large celestial objects orbiting the Sun." More

Technology, eh? I wonder if they'll build moons for them too.

Aren't they declassifying Pluto as a planet though?

oh, my bad.

At one point it was thought that Pluto - the smallest and most distant of the planets - would be kicked out of the club, but now it appears that it is welcomed as the prototype of a new class of smaller planets known as "plutons".

Hehe, that'll confuse the school kids.

i think it all depends on what classification they give the three new "planets". if they do classify them as planets i think Pluto wont be seen as a planet. which is confusing :blink:

and this is not 100% for sure going to happen, they're still kicking around the idea, interesting though, i love astronomy

Isn't Ceres the space station that the Space Pirates took the baby metroid from?
