Dark Fox Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Just curious... just heard that Pluto is no longer considerd a planet, b/c it crosses the obit of an established planet (Neptune)...I am not shure, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo K. Lighthouse Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 We need more info, what's going on, why does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol-Ratcht Saporro Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Yeah, in grade school I was (and still am) used to Pluto being called a planet. So, what's the point of changing it now. It really doesn't matter but I vote yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig11 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 (I guess america was like 1 day earlier in getting know about this thing then for me..) I had heard that on a scientist-meeting about what should be called a planet, they said that it's too small for being that.. but.. we have all called Pluto a Planet for a long time now.. why just suddenly leave it from being one?

Infinity Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Technically along with two other planets it is still called a dwarf planet. So my vote is neutral... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvolutionSFox Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Yes, it should be a planet. I mean, it has been a planet for many years- why change it now? There's no need to change the name or anything, Planet X? Pluto should stay the way it has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramuza Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 *Agrees with ESF* Pluto should stay as a planet since its been called a planet for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Krysader Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I don't know. I'd need to know more about what they exactly consider to be a planet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krystal Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 It doesn't matter what it's called, because it's still a big rock orbiting our sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eclipsed Phoenix Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 due to the fact that pluto doesnt fit into either the terrestrial catagory or the jovian, it has always been a source of hot debate. unfortunatly due to plutos proximity to the kuiper belt, recently descovered, pluto has also been shown up by larger objects within the Belt. along with 140,300 Kuiper Belt Objects of the same or close size, it has been renamed a "dwarf planetoid" and been added as the first of its "new" catagory. the Director of NASA stated in a recent media cast "pluto will alwas, in our hearts, remain a planet, but science must always find new ways of explaining old things..." in other words..nothings changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conall Drest Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I think no cause its small and too irregular to be considered one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo K. Lighthouse Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 It's a demoted Planet, it's still a planet, but it's not a full fledged planet, (Ironically) "Daily Planet" did an article on the subject and it's quite interesting actually...
