You all probably heard about this already, but as of today, Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
Do you think this was a good move? A justified one? Or are you still rooting for Pluto as the ninth planet?
I say keep Pluto, as the "Magic Schoolbus" cartoon told me it was a planet when I was young, and the "Magic Schoolbus" will always be right!

If it's no longer a planet what are they calling it? a "spatial body"? I think Pluto will always be the 9th planet to me. I never actually saw the Magic Schoolbus cartoon but I had a few of the books. Got me interested in space that book did.

The reason they kicked out Pluto was because it has a strange orbit and they couldnt make a thing that classifies a planet that inclueded it. It is now a dwalf planet.
