Great stuff Dennis. This is really going to set the cat among the pidgeons. Is it or isn't it. If they (whoever they are
) decide it isn't a planet then maybe Pluto won't be considered a planet anymore, and we're back to 8. I'm really looking forward to the "discussions" that are going to come out of the scientific community. If they decide that, "yes it is a planet" then won't that add more weight to making Sedna and Quoaor planets as well? Or maybe "they"'ll have to invent a new catagory of planetessimal to take into pluto et al.
Exciting times
