PARIS (AFP) - Only a week after Pluto was stripped of its status as a full-fledged planet of the Solar System, rebel astronomers have launched a campaign to have it restored in pomp and glory.
A petition already signed by more than 300 professional researchers is attacking the International Astronomical Union (IAU) decision to expel Pluto from the Solar System's A-list and doom it to the status of "dwarf planet"...
--------------------
Hmmm.... after a week, Pluto was dropped as a Planet in our solar system, "rabel" astronomers launched an "attack", for it to be restored. So does this means the school textbooks should NOT be thrown out yet?
I wonder with these changes, will the Ministry of Education be vigilant and make the necessary changes in the school textbooks and that school teachers are concerned enough to inform their students on the changes.... Im sure one of this year's Science exam questions will ask how many planets are there in our solar system..be prepared to know the answers :-)
