This just in – There’s only 8 planets
The old saying “One thing for certain, things will change” is now confirmed. One of the things that I learned in school, many years ago was that there were 9 planets in the solar system. Well, I guess I now need to unlearn a few things since the body meeting to discuss planets and such has now determined that there are only 8 planets and Pluto is actually just a Disney character.
What does this have to do with technology? Nothing really unless you say that the decision was made due to technological advancements. If it wasn’t for technology the new body nicknamed Xena and bigger than Pluto wouldn’t have been discovered. Nor would have the possible planet/moon of Pluto Charon.
I guess the solar system is really like life, what was popular yesterday is old fashion today.
Here are some news articles on the change.
