Interesting article! It is incredible that the name Pluto was first suggested by a eleven-year-old girl!

The plot thickens but Pluto retains its status as a planet...known as a Pluton!

Yeah, there are reports in newspapers that hardly report astronomy news. When can we expect the final decision?

The word 'Planet' is NOT found in my dictionary. I'm done with it. Just hell don't get me involved in cults and I will be a happier person.
