It seems that the whole planet shake-up is the result of the discovery of a body of mass in this very solar system that is larger than Pluto. Rather than add a tenth planet, the Illuminati, er, the International something something Astronomers Club something something, decided to demote Pluto to be the second largest dwarf planet, rather than its previous title of smallest true planet. That could be good for Pluto in a lot of ways. I mean, its sports teams won’t have to compete against Jupiter’s or Saturn’s anymore. Everyone knows how hard it is to play teams that can draw from the population of a planet that is ten thousand times bigger than yours. Yet, at the same time, I feel kind of bad for Pluto. This gentrification of the solar system is turning into a way to kick out all the low-rent planets (Ceres, another former planet, is also now a dwarf. At least it’s not asteroid row, cuz ol’ Ceres did some time there once too). That’s never good.
