Thank you for looking into fixing a change in planetary science which has bothered me from the day it was implemented – stripping Pluto from the title of being a planet. Now it turns out that Pluto might be bestowed with the title of a Planet again. For those who are lazy to read the entire article – the definition of a Planet was that it has its own orbit which it either doesn’t share with any other celestial object or is clear of debris (in this case asteroids in the Kuiper belt). Turns out Pluto has both – it’s own own orbit and a clear orbit, devoid of any other celestial object. Why it took so long time discover this? Here is a piece of trivia to conclude this note – it takes 248 years for Pluto to orbit the sun! We take only 365 days.

248 years, eh?
