This is very interesting and, depending on the decision, if any, on 24.Aug., we all (helping children in their studies) will have to be looking serious after this not to teach others wrongly about. And perhaps in a few years more we will have more news on this solar system of ours having even more planets than these counted todate.

I had enough trouble keeping the planets in order. I'll really have trouble now. The kids will have it memeorized in no time. It's just the way it is. They know about black holes and I've found they really get interested in this new stuff. They grab hold of it and run with it. It's those of us a shade over, shall we say 25?.

Of course, interestingly, is till a debate among scientists on what should be considered a planet. Pluto maybe out of the count, depending on what they agree on. BTW, Susan: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are the classic nine

this is totally awsome information for our school children world wide. to acknowledge and be updated on. if this information is valid, it would open the eyes , that may have been closed, even for a second, and missed the statement, that the possibilities of fact never cease.there is always another frontier exploration. always?

Define planet first. Everything else would fit into place from that.
