thats the game something else, we need to get out there and study these things rather than argue iof its a planet or not!
Weird rotation, maybe knocked off by a meteor? wonder how many others are on funny axis! |

yea JB your rite, they found it years ago but couldn't call it a planit because of it's rotation and axis.
I won't pretend to know the full ins and outs but thats the jist of it. |

i see...so all these yrs they have no finally decided yes it is a planet...
the other thing they were arguing about was whether it was a minor or major planet...
its bigger than pluto, pluto is a major planet so it has to be one. if it was a minro then ir wouldnt be counted as the tenth, as there are a LOT of minor planets in the solar system. |

I agree with that. if its bigger than pluto then it must be a major planet. Makes sence to me 
Must be colder than pluto though as its further away from the sun? Then again when there that far away would it make any difference? |

will be pretty dark too as the sun is so far away it would be blocked out by a pin head held at arms length! ie just like any other star in the sky. |
