Oh come on.
What’s Pluto ever done to deserve being knocked off the planetary charts?
It wasn’t hurting anyone, just quietly circling, minding its own business, not getting in Neptune’s way. A slightly eccentric orbit can hardly be grounds for dismissal, surely, even in Australia.
How can it possibly harm anyone else, to let the poor old thing keep believing it’s a planet?
I blame Xena.
Pluto’s always been my favourite. We small, round outsiders have to stick up for each other.
