      Hi @lilsimmo
      I have to leave decisions like this to the pros who research space science. But I have to admit I was really sad when I found out pluto wasn’t a planet any more.

      My friend has a really funny tshirt with a cartoon of pluto looking sad on it, that says ‘It’s Ok Pluto, I’m not a planet either’.

      If the planetary scientists have a good reason for thinking that Pluto should be a dwarf planet, then I agree with them, as Iā€™m not a specialist in that area but I trust the people who are! Even if it does mean we have to think up a new rhyme for remembering the order of the planets outwards from the Sun. Luckily, someone’s already taken care of that:
