It is kind of strange that I have to update my basics again :) The astronomers have declared Pluto as a dwarf planet....

It's quite amazing that astrological studies are weakened. There used to be calculations of Pluto's movement on the stars and stuff like that, now I'm thinking many things are going to be affected. May be my future toooo :D
Hi Bunty, Actually astrological may have been weakened but astronomical studies are enhanced. Now atleast they have a basic defination of a Planet, and then you have other things to see besides pluto like Ceres, Charon, UB313 and many others.
ReplyDeleteFor Astrologers I think, they'll have to change thier basics, they can include all dwarf planets in thier system which will actually strengthen thier study, I think there are around 15-16 Dwarfs in Solar system :)
