It got my attention right away LOL and it is interesting to see where the result is going :)

Yeap! The old schoolers (I dont say oldies B) ) lol learned that there are nine Planets in our Solar System! :P

This was true until The International Astronomical Union (IAU) developed some definitions of Planets in 2001, modified them again in 2003, and as of August 24, 2006, the IAU has come up with another definition. :|

The IAU said in a statement that the definition for a planet is now officially known as "a celestial body" that:
(1) is in orbit around the Sun,

(2) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape and

(3) has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit."

A "dwarf planet" is a celestial body that:
(1) is in orbit around the Sun,

(2) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape,

(3) has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, and

(4) is not a satellite.

LOL! All this scientific stuff boils down to one conclusion that our Solar System has only (8) EIGHT Planets! :@

Sorry Pluto but you are out LOL :|

It is too much text LOL here are few pictures for you to enjoy ;)

The first one is a model of Universe from ancient times... :P



And here are our lovely 8 Planets and the Dwarf Planets B)






Take care everyone...

WASP

I don't consider them people... : )

Just cause we call a midget a small person, doesn't meen they are not a person.

Dwarf Planets. Still a "Planet" nontheless.
