Wow! I never expected this. I've kind of been following what has been going on with their discussions on redefining what is and isn't a planet. But, it seemed that just about every option that they were considering was going to increase the number of planets, not kick Pluto out of our little planetary gang. I guess they figured that since they coudn't agree on whether to have 10 planets or 50, they had to make some change.
Kids are going to have to come up with a new way to memorize the planets. But, instead of the 12 that article talks about, they'll have it even easier. I guess "My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" won't work anymore. Maybe our energetic moms can start serving up some noodles instead..?
