Interseting, to say the least.
If the proposed Resolution is passed, the 12 planets in our Solar System will be Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon and 2003 UB313.

Some in the astronomical community have been saying Pluto should be downgraded from planet status for a few years now. Wonder how this will go over with them.

Seems kinda funny that there hasn't been a decided definition of a planet after all these years.
