Definitely!

"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.

IMHO, which counts for nothing in the eyes of scientists, Parade’s definition makes perfect sense.

I keep hoping that now we’ve seen such fabulous pix of Pluto’s surface, scientists will re-think their current definition and re-establish Pluto as a planet.

I constantly check for, and save, new images of its surface and haven’t ceased to be amazed yet. One “WOW” after another.
