Current Event:Pluto!

We have always known that there were nine planets in our solar system. If somebody suddenly told you that there is only eight planets now, what would you think? You would probably say that there are nine: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Recently, scientists have discovered that Pluto is no longer a planet. A vote took place in August to demote Pluto. Only 424 astronomers were qualified to vote(that is around 5% of the astronomers in the world). The vote took eight days of continuous debate to come up with an answer. The article also states that Pluto is now considered a dwarf planet by definition. However, by definition, dwarf planets are NOT considered planets. Some astronomers are already sending around a petition to change the mind of the IAU. Overall, I think that if by definition, Pluto dosen't fit in as a planet, it shouldn't be counted as the ninth planet.
