Dude- where have I been?
Apparently there are eleven, not nine, planets in our solar system= eight regular planets and three dwarf planets: Ceres, Eris and a demoted Pluto. When was somebody going to let me know?
Geez- you stop reading the science section of the Times for five years and all of a sudden your knowledge is outdated!
*smooches...thinking I should log onto NYTimes.com and get the full skinny on these dwarf planets*

Willkommen, Ceres and Eris!

am i wrong for not caring that their are 3 planets that I didnt know about...unless an alien from one of them suckers is going to come down here and get me...I'm cool not knowing
its funny cause living outside of NYC has forced me to look to the heavens. since then i can't see myself moving back to NYC because then i will never have any more star filled nights.
We get some stars in BK, although star-gazing was never my Science concentration of choice... I prefer to know how things work: the human body, mechanical things, etc, or how things are put together.
It pays to be nosey, or as my daughter's teacher puts it: "curious and inquisitive"
See, I came over here and learned something. I knew that Pluto got demoted but these other "planets" are news. When the heck did this happen?
