Poor Pluto... After 75 years of being recognized as a planet, a group of eggheads in Prague decided that it wasn't. Apparently, since Pluto's axis around the Sun is oblong, and it intersects with Neptune's path, it is now viewed as a a sub-planet, or something like that.. Whatever. All I know is that it seems that half of what I was taught in school isn't true anymore...
As a consolation, we are awarding Pluto a Milton Waddams Award, in recognition of 75 years of faithful service. Accepting on Pluto's behalf.......
To bad about your obvious favorite ex planet. Look at Mars at 1230 AM on Sunday August 27, 2006. I understand it will be as close to earth since who knows when and will look very big.
