So...Pluto (which has moons) gets demoted,
And Ceres (which doesn’t) gets promoted.

I think it is a plot by the greenies, as Pluto was the God of WEALTH (Capitalism), and Ceres was the Goddess of “Whole Grain Goodness”.

Giuseppe Piazzi, who discovered Ceres on the first night of the 19th century, was a native of Sicily (although not living in Sicily when he made the discovery). Ceres (Demeter) was the patron goddess of ancient Sicily.
