Leading astronomers declared yesterday that Pluto is no longer a planet under historic new guidelines that downsize the solar system from nine planets to eight. After a tumultuous week of clashing over the essence of the cosmos, the International Astronomical Union stripped Pluto of the planetary status it has held since its discovery in 1930.
It's a decade-old controversy: Pluto is so much smaller than the other eight planets, so different in composition and in such a weird, tilted orbit that it doesn't quite belong. But the discovery last summer of a new object, similar to Pluto but bigger, threw the whole thing wide open. If Pluto is a planet, so must 2003 UB313 be. If 2003 UB313 isn't, Pluto can't be. Simple as that.
Already started is the Save Pluto campaign at Worth 1000
