pLuTo Is OuT...

The news reported that Pluto, known as the ninth and smallest planet of the Solar System since its discovery in 1930, has been taken off from the list of planets... It was stripped of its planetary status by the International Astronomical Union at their Prague meeting as its orbit overlaps with Neptune's. (Chim huh?? I also dun understand...)

Pluto's brown color is thought dominated by frozen methane deposits metamorphosed by faint but energetic sunlight. The dark band below Pluto's equator is seen to have rather complex coloring, however, indicating that some unknown mechanisms may have affected Pluto's surface.

Pluto's size in comparison with Earth

Therefore, the Solar System now only comprises of 8 planets, namely; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune...

With Pluto dropped from the Solar System, will the other pluto, Mickey's dog, be gone from Disney's characters as well?

Oh... How i miss those silly Disney cartoons... I can still remember how excited i was when watching the characters chasing about with things falling here and there... phew... bao bei... i do have a bit of childhood... =)
