These Planet-gazers definitely living in a Helios-sphere of their own:
----------------------------------------An anonymous reader writes "According to a story over at Nature, some geologists are ticked off at the International Astronomical Union for using the word 'pluton' to describe a round object orbiting the sun with a period more than 200 years. A pluton, it seems, is a common type of rock formation that exists in most Geology 101 curricula. IAU head Owen Gingerich is quoted as saying that he was only peripherally aware of the definition, and because it didn't show up on MS Word's spell check, he didn't think it was that important."  PS, once the common gravitational point of the moon lies above earths surface it also will be called a planet by the new definition......that's 2 billion years from now.

Today's planetary news:
----------------------------------------Pluto is a Plan-Not. Astrologers are griped because their star charts are messed up. That's one less planet to influence our daily lives.
