This really should go in News.
I have a topic similar to this, but it was a while ago when they were still discusing the 12 planet plan. QUOTE The scientists agreed that for a celestial body to qualify as a planet: it must be in orbit around the Sun it must be large enough that it takes on a nearly round shape it has cleared its orbit of other objects Pluto was automatically disqualified because its highly elliptical orbit overlaps with that of Neptune. It will now join a new category of dwarf planets. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5282440.stm ^That's why. |
