        It’s a bit sad! But there is a theory that there is a massive 9th planet further out than Pluto that no one has very seen! So maybe we will be back up to 9 again!

        The poor little fellow got kicked out, not fair. Lately, it has been several theories about what exist further than Pluto and other stars that maybe should be included as part of our solar system. So who knows?
        It’s very confusing though – when I was at school, I had the whole list memorised, and stopping at “Neptune” sounds weird!

        I also feel bad for little Pluto, although I suppose I appreciate that it had to be re-classified in order to be scientifically rigorous.

        It seems a bit rude really. You’re a planet for decades and then you get downgraded!
