the pee-wee planet

Stay alert Sun, you could be next: 2500 delegates in the International Astronomers Union met on Thursday and with a vote decided to strip Pluto of its title of planet. And, no, Earth did not explode; the world did not come to an end. Yes, according to them, Pluto is too small and does not have enough gravity. Pluto is still a planet just not one of the major ones. It is now called a dwarf planet (much to the chagrin of real dwarfs). No doubt they will be suing in the near future.
