Pluto's not a Planet

...hey how many planets are there in our solar system? ....


tick tock tick tock.. NINE? well if that was asked you last year.. you were right... but now... NINE? na-ah!!!!! its EIGHT!


well in the International Astronomical Union (IAU) meeting held in Prague, Czech Republic.. it was decided that Pluto's actually only a "dwarf planet" (there are about 44 of such planets in our system) and not really one of the bigger guys like Mars, Earth, Jupiter and so forth... just think about the number of books that ned to be re-written due to this change... tsk tsk....
