    They say “Pluto’s not a planet,”

    Do you think that Pluto gives a shit?

    Pluto is not gonna quit

    'Cause Pluto can take a hit

    And Pluto knows what Pluto is

    And Pluto knows that Pluto’s

    Hot shit!

      I think I’m seeing shit

      I’ve seen a perfect protostar

      I’ve seen a triple quasar

      But I’ve never seen a dwarf planet go this hard!

      Pluto ain’t gonna quit, impact craters level out after a while, and that mofo has more geologically interesting shit going on than most people realize.

    I’m only down with the “Pluto is a planet” crowd, if they rep Ceres and at least one of the others (Eris, Hamuhea, Makemake, or one of the others I forget) too.

    So there’s no version of the solar system where there’s only 9 planets. It’s 11+ lads.

      Yeah, people don’t realise that removing Pluto is the conservative choice when it comes to the list of planets.

        It was the only choice if we are expecting elementary students to memorize them all in order.

    At least Pluto is rock solid, looking at you Jupiter and Saturn. Ya’ll wish you half the silicate mass!

    Pluto is still a planet, dwarf planets are still planets just smaller.

      In Illinois, we passed a law acknowledging Pluto as a planet because we are the most open and accepting state.

    I can’t be the only one who hates this “omg guys Pluto has to be a planet!” meme shit that won’t die.

    Who fucking cares? Yes, we used to call it one thing, and now we call it something else. Get over it.

    You know whats funny? Technically speaking, the only thing that holds luna from being a planet is only the fact that earth and moon are not declared as a biplanetary system. This is due to the weak argument that the mass center of the two planets is JUST under earths surface. When we argue with anything else, like for example gravitational pull, the sun pulls stronger than earth, making the moon not part of earths system but equally a part of the suns system, declaring earth and moon as a biplanetary system. Moon is very large in relation to earth to be an actual moon (like Jupiters or Mars’ moons). Strictly speaking by ignoring the (somehow) most relevant but weakest argument of the mass center being (just) inside earths crust, it could clearly be declared as biplanetary system
