Today, after 76 years of deep consideration, astronomers have finally ruled to correct a mistake of their predecessors, kicking Pluto out of the Planetary Club.

Now Pluto can finally rest with his likes, be they from the Kuiper Belt or elsewhere, in the newly-established Dwarf Planet category.

Remember the Voyager spacecraft, sent out into the galaxy? It has a map showing nine planets...well, now, when the hostile space aliens come looking for us...they'll never find us on account of we only got eight planets!
