Yeah I read about this on the bbc website the other day.

I don't think it's finalised yet, and there are other astronomers arguing for 4 more objects to be upgraded to planet status, amongst them ironically Pluto's moon Charon or sommitotwatever.


Personally I would be happy with 7 planets as that is my favourite number and I think it would be more harmonious, 7 days in a week, seven seas, seven continents and seven colours in a rainbow and of course seven openings in your head. Plus I was born in the 7th month, July.
