This seems a good distraction for fun debate,
So far as the ‘official’ designation, they can kiss my butt. Pluto was, is and will always be a planet. How do I know?
My youmg nephew (who at age five likes to challenge me with questions about numbering systems of ‘base six,’ and the correct formula for hydrochloric acid), INSISTS Pluto is a planet.
He’s VERY vociferous about the fact that Pluto is a planet, and so will be the next generation of great scientific minds.
[Hint, if you don’t want to spend the next hour or so with my nephew educating you about every planet in the solar system, where it belongs and why you’re wrong, don’t broach the subject. I say this with a full respect for Pluto’s true designation as a planet and my nephew’s intellect.]
