Pluto... we miss you!

I sincerely hope Pluto can clear it’s orbit of random objects so it can once again be our 9th planet. It’s just not the same without him.

What are you talking about? Pluto still exists, doesn't it?

@HairbrushDiva sure does.

@MamaPajama So what's a load of random objects doing to it?

MamaPajama · 31-35, F

@HairbrushDiva apparently that’s NASA’s reasoning for it not being labeled a planet. Apparently, for a simplistic explanation, it’s got too many objects competing for its orbit.

@MamaPajama I wouldn't take any notice of that if I were you. It's a planet, it always has been a planet and it always will be a planet. It's a planet.

@MamaPajama It was not NASA. It was the International Astronomical Union.

(No organization in one country, such as NASA, would be able to make such a declaration.)

@DrWatson Correct. I meant that I got that explanation off of NASAs website.

@MamaPajama Gotcha!
