We may soon have 12 planets!
Aug. 16th, 2006 06:41 amThe IAU is going to vote on a proposal for the definition of a planet (you can see the text on http://spaceweather.com/ right now) that would definitively make Ceres (residing in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter), Pluto AND Charon all planets. So the mnemonic to remember all the planet names will have to change if this passes. ;)
