Recent discoveries have complicated that viewpoint of the solar system, especially since the discovery of 2003 UB313 by Professor Mike Brown and colleagues at the California Institute of Technology

And, getting back on topic.. Sticks.. that's all very interesting, but I tend to agree with the post which says: "where do you draw the line between planet and non-planet?"

Some astronomers do not believe it should ever have been a planet. Unfortunately I could not make it to Prague for the IAU meeting, so am awaiting their report with interest.

Should be on here

Not that I am a member

BTW please remember for some back and forth banter there is the PM facility.

Woohoo, it looks like we have 3 more planets in our solar system!! Nine has become twelve

Anyone interested in astrology or horoscopes, (load of rubbish IMO) cos that's now completely up in the air!

Maybe the extra planets explain why astrology or horoscopes doesn't work!

You could be onto something there Red. Maybe now all those horoscopes in the papers will actually be accurate cos for years they've been basing their predictions on nine planets!!!

But what happens in a few years time when they make a new even more powerful telescope or something and discover another bunch out there

Sorry but I still don't get why the news reader said today that there are only 8 planets, I'm really confused on this issue.

Well the Channel 4 news at 7.00pm said there are now 12 (although he did mention something about not all are considered "classic planets")

I'd wait till Sticks comes online, I know very little about it
