Pluto, redux?

Well! As posted here, and here, I’ve been talking about this whole “Planet” thing. Now there’s more development.

Apparently the IAU is revising their revised revision again, and might eliminate Pluto from the planet list, dropping back to the 8 “classical” planets, and number all other bodies that would have previously been called “planet” into the “dwarf planet” category. This would include Charon and Ceres and 2003 UB313.

Further and further we go. It’s all arbitrary people!
