Yes it was decided because Pluto couldn't meet the requirements of the new definitions of a planet, so what is it now?

You may find it stupid, but that made me sad...
I've lived for whole my life with the conciousness of 9 planets and what now...?

Same as me...
But the orbit of Pluto crosses the Neptune's one. I think that's one of the reason.

Very bad news! A real planet demoted in some days! If I was Pluto I would call my lawyer immediately!

I've always known Pluto is a dog.

Some expert said on the radio today that the "ex"planet Pluto now belongs to a category called "dwarf planets".
Well...same same but different. The dog though still remains.

I read that one of the reasons was that it wan't shaped like other planets and there was no gravity.

And I'll still keep calling it a planet. As if I talk or think about Pluto everyday...
I mean - if they want to call it a refridgerator - FINE
