According to an article I read, Pluto is still a planet but isn't one of the "big planets" (it's considered a dwarf planet now).

But still, poor Pluto.... :cry:

i always used to know My Very Easy Method Just Sums Up Nine Planets... dunno what they'll use now... but the reclassification makes sense, considering there are things bigger than Pluto that have been recently discovered even further out in the solar system, and more and more evidence points to Pluto itself being just one in a large group of similar objects with distant orbits...
