Pluto demoted again

Re: Pluto IS a planet

The point you have made there tends to go against all of history.

Every time a new scientific discovery is made or standards are changed or new definitions are brought in, our teaching has to alter to suit.

This isn't the first time that our education has proved to be "wrong" and I'm quite sure that it won't be the last either.

People living in the dark ages probably had the same thoughts when scientists/doctors/monks/etc... said that objects do not contain phlogiston which allows them to burn; the theory was wrong and we had to change our views and teachings to suit.
