Default Two Newest Planets

I have been searching the Internet about the two newest planets

But the people writing about them seem too arrogant about them being
too small to be planets
to admit they are planets.

I can't even find a model or map of the Solar System with the orbits
of these two new planets
on them.

Since scientists started trying to re-classify certain planets into
being dwarf planets, seems we just
can't get anything straight about the Solar System anymore.

Thank goodness a few of the web sites still talk about the Nine
Planets, including Pluto!

So how many planets do we now have? *9? *!0? *11?

Maybe no one knows.


Including Ceres and Selene, at the vest least more than a dozen.
