Hi everyone. (To mods, is this in the right section? Move if desired
).
During my usual scoot through the Internet, I have run into quite a lot of people who are against the IAU's decision to change Pluto's status. I just spent a bit of time on YouTube watching a few of the videos there. Now I'm completely in favour of the IAU's decision, and I believe it was a practical and sensible move. However, it seems that the majority of the public would disagree with me. So I got to thinking that it might be fun to create my own YouTube (or similar) video discussing my view on the matter. Hopefully I'll get myself thinking, learn some new stuff and maybe get others thinking/learning as well.
Anyway, I thought I would start by having a look at what people think. What does the IceInSpace community think of the IAU's decision? More specifically, do you agree with the IAU's decision on removing Pluto and what are your reasons?
The IAU's resolution for planetary status can be found here:

I will add polling options to this thread (if I can work out how
) and follow the progress of this thread. There's nothing quite like a good discussion
