Default Pluto is a planet no more :(

PRAGUE, Czech Republic - Leading astronomers declared Thursday that Pluto is no longer a planet under historic new guidelines that downsize the solar system from nine planets to eight. After a tumultuous week of clashing over the essence of the cosmos, the International Astronomical Union stripped Pluto of the planetary status it has held since its discovery in 1930.




However, planetary status is still pending for Star Jones.

No it's not.

It's just the end of the solar system as we know it.
