Pluto is always part of our solar system. This unique solar system has Sun
in the center. Our solar system travel in the milky way together as a whole. Pluto is always one of the object in our solar system. wrote in message ps.com... SAVE PLUTO SIGN MY PETITION http://www.petitiononline.com/PP896/petition.html THANKS JACOCA |

![]() wrote in message ps.com... SAVE PLUTO SIGN MY PETITION http://www.petitiononline.com/PP896/petition.html THANKS JACOCA Hey, if this is important to you, god bless......but It's not like the IAU is killing puppies here. They merely decided to alter a simple taxonomic designation because they have better information at their disposal now than they had ~70 years ago. Here's an analogy: Would you (in 2006) ever call a ten story building a skyscraper? Of course not. The tallest towers today flirt with 1700 feet. But in the late 19th century, the tallest building was 10 stories (about 150 feet, IIRC), and was a SKYSCRAPER by every measure (at least by 1885 standards). Here's a scenario that is likely to play out: As we move through the next few decades of the 21st century, astronomers will almost surely find additional pluto-sized (or larger) bodies in our solar system. We might find one more, or we might find DOZENS more. I tend to think it will eventually be dozens. Shall we call them all planets? Here's a little secret (PLEASE promise not to tell anybody!!): If you want to continue calling Pluto a planet, you can! Matty-o P.S. From what I've been told, Pluto doesn't really care WHAT you call it. |

Yes exactly and it's still a dwarf planet, so nothing has changed

We call an unknown object around a star far away in galaxy a "Planet". The
Planet doesn't need to be in our galaxy. They didn't even know the size, orbit and color of the planet in other galaxy. Using size, orbit and color to classify planet in our galaxy is wrong.
