Why do other planets get to have multiple moons but we only have one? It isn’t fair! I am for moon redistribution! I must send an urgent letter to Sheila Jackson Lee so she can sponsor a bill. (and watch the hilarity begin)

We should be thankful we have a moon at all!............... If it weren’t for our Moon, we might not be here!...........

P4? Having three moons and denying planetary status is one thing, but 4 moons! It is just wrong to deny Pluto a return to planetary status.

And “P4”? Not very romantic. How about Persephone, queen of the underworld in Greek mythology, and the original name proposed for Pluto’s moon Charon.

Thanks Red Badger! I sure am glad Pluto's still a planet.

To Pluto -- And Far Beyond "To Pluto And Far Beyond" By David H. Levy, Parade, January 15, 2006 -- We don't have a dictionary definition yet that includes all the contingencies. In the wake of the new discovery, however, the International Astronomical Union has set up a group to develop a workable definition of planet. For our part, in consultation with several experienced planetary astronomers, Parade offers this definition: A planet is a body large enough that, when it formed, it condensed under its own gravity to be shaped like a sphere. It orbits a star directly and is not a moon of another planet.
