42

You know, I understand we live in a world of hypotheses and theories because we haven't quite grasped the universe around us yet. That's fair enough. But to strip Pluto of her planet status? Come on. 

Pluto is no longer a planet. It's a dwarf planet

Isn't it like saying a dwarf isn't a human, he's a dwarf human?

Maybe I'm not open to change as much as I'd like to believe but I thought we had at least nailed our address right and that our solar system was - maybe constantly expanding along with the universe but - at least constant in the number of houses it had. 

The Beeb has the news.
