Pluto - NO LONGER A PLANET???

Mici:
Pluton is no longer a planet!! yes we only have 8 left.

beemaster:
Pluto has been an interesting bird to me since I was a child. The firsst time I saw a map of ALL THE PLANETS, there was Pluto,

Look at the orbits of ALL PLANETS except Pluto - they all find the same line as if they were laying on the floor and rolling around the Sun in the center.

Pluto though has this out of whack high eliptical orbit that just is DIFFERENT from the rest of the planets. It obviously was pulled out of NPO (Nornal Planetary Orbit) by gravity of larger planets once and remained so - or has SLOWLY been trying to balance  out since.

But it is a strange wanna-bee planet (I'll never think of it otherwise than a REAL PLANET. So what what do they do instead, they start lookingat MOONS and plan on calling them PLANETS - wow.

Just think of the millions of mobiles floating around in school rooms and kid's bedoom that are nothing but lies - for shame on us all to mislead so many generations - for shame.

I for one shall always think of my friend Pluto more that a tiny irbital space chunk and to those brainiacs who have nothing better to do can bite my buttocks!  :oops:

Mici:
couldn't agree more. that's why i posted it...it's almost a joke.

Summerbee:
Long live Pluto! Probably Jupiter of Saturn messed with Pluto long ago.  Maybe when they were both going by at the same time, a once in an eon occurance, their combined gravitational pull turned its orbit elliptical.

Brian D. Bray:
My theory is that Pluto & Charon (plus a few other Plutons) were moons af a planet that exploded leaving the mass of floating debre between Mars and Jupiter known as the astroid belt.  They were caught by the gravitaional forces of the outer planets.  Pluto's & Charon's orbit is more around the outer planets than around the Sun.  I also think their orbit around each other is evidence of having been near moons of a planet and displaced from their original orbits.  There primary orbit is around each other, their secondary orbit is around the outer planets, and their third orbit is around the Sun but only as it relates to the orbits of the outer planets.
To me this disqualifies it from beging classified as a planet.  My defination of a planet is that it must be a rounded object from its own gravitaional forces, orbit the Sun on the same eliptic as the other planets, and have ovaliptic orbit as do the main planets regardless of the distance from the Sun.  That definition disqualifies Pluto & Charon but allows Ceres and Xena.
