When I was growing up, we HAD 9 planets. As far as I am concerned, we still do.

I found it!
New movie: Plan 9 from Planet Nine from Outer Space.
I learned that they were called
Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto
Who taught you those names? :-P
Yep, and what they call Planet 9 now was what we called Planet X back then.
It’s a small world after all.......................
Run away, run away!
Everybody knows that Planet X blew up and left behind the asteroid belt.
It was in the movies.
*ping*
So we can “see” asteroids the size of a school bus way out there, but can’t be sure about a whole freakin’ PLANET? Gimmie a break!
So, it was Planet 9 from outer space, not Plan 9.
I found some kind of weird space rock the other day.
Turns out it was an old tennis shoe.
I think it made the moon move.
Planet X really means Planet 10. Back during the search for Pluto, Ceres was considered a planet. Later it was classified an asteroid. Now it’s classified as a dwarf planet, same as Pluto.
Elizabeth is from Planet Claire.
Yes, I know the history, and roman numerals. I just think its all kind of funny how things change and still stay the same.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. Also pingin' X-Planets.

"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. |
Whoops! Thanks fieldmarshaldj.
And it’s likely to repeat itself even further. If they find this 9th planet, they’ll probably have to reclassify it again as a dwarf planet, even though it’s bigger than Earth. The reason: like Pluto, it has probably not cleared its orbit, being such an eccentric one.
