8 planets, not 12...get your facts together
from the australian
"For the past week, an assembly of 2500 delegates at the International Astronomical Union has been debating Pluto's future, as well as the status of three other bodies: Ceres, until now regarded as the solar system's largest asteroid; Charon, one of Pluto’s moons; and a newly discovered object called 2003 UB313.

One proposal was for the solar system to be expanded to contain 12 planets in two tiers, but overnight in Prague, by a show of hands in its concluding session, the IAU decided that there could be only EIGHT.

"The eight planets are Mercury, Earth, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune," said the IAU resolution that confirmed Pluto's relegation to "dwarf planet" status, where it will not even be the largest object."

I really don't give a rat's arse what the IAUs resolution is....
Anyhow, who is the IAU and what right have they to decide such things.
I have my own specifications and definitions of such issues- and the IAU have no right or authority to make such outrageous claims.

That reminds me of another outrageous claim i read recently stating "There is in fact 12 planets in our Solar System" .....i'll see if i can dig up the link if you like :-)

andrew the other three now includes Pluto
the link above should explain it

and I'm with Troop a dour

who or what gives them the bloody right to take Pluto out of it?

::who or what gives them the bloody right to take Pluto out of it?::

I'm guessing they were the ones who ratified it as a planet in the first place, therefore probably have the right to remove it.

I think we should just leave good old Pluto alone to do his own thing......

>I'm guessing they were the ones who ratified it as a planet in the first place, therefore probably have the right to remove it.

If they didn't know what they were doing then how do they know what they're doing now.. I say they should be stripped of all authority and Nudie decides whats what.

ok, sounds like a great plan :-)

Andrew

me decide?....wow!...what an honour....gee I'm over the moon
so wondeful to be selected I am

I've decided....nissans are crap!

The IAU have always had ultimate authority over the solar system, unless you count God.

Nudie, the IAU (and God too I suspect) decrees that Nissans are OK as are Toyota's but only the lighter colour ones.

I cannot accept that you are over the moon as the moon is a stellar body and under your assertion it would disappear also, hence you would be over nothing. And we all know that anything over nothing is infinity, implying that you are ipso facto, God, or a "dwarf God".

QED

insults eh?
i'm gunna arrange a flurb or maybe two flurbs to straighten you out Bonz hehehe

Expect mass protest from Plutoans. They are appealling the decision and planning to send a delegation to Earth that should arrive in about 40 years.

Given the relative size of Pluto to Earth, it is not surprising that the 250,000,612 Plutoans at the conference were ignored and their protests largely overlooked.

One scientist noticed a flurb of them (Flurb is the collective noun for Plotoans), however when he sneezed they were blown away.

They have lodged a protest which is expected to be heard next semester

Love it ,,dont supose you have a picture of that other planet ? [now what was it called ????? thats it Uranus !! ]

I...I....I... nope better not say it, I could get shot

Alloy, reliable photographs of Uranus are not available as it is almost always surrounded in tight clusters of haemorrhoids (or ar$eteroids)

Bonz ,it was my understanding that "preparation H " was the cure for ar$eteroids on Uranus in order to get a clear er picture .

There may be some logic in that after all

hahaha.....get nicked Willie

mmm..never thought of that

Hey swmbo......what ya chart say...does it still say your going to find some rich and handsome eh...hahaha
that'l stuff her up
