Agreed. There are really only 8 planets. All the rest are minor planets, asteriods, planetismals, KBO's or TNO's.

Sorry Clyde T, but as consolation there will still be a special Chapter in every introductory Astronomy textbook noting your achievements.

It is now a matter to decide what a moon is, rather than have every pebble and rock found orbiting Jupiter and Saturn to get its own special name.
