Sky Is The Limit

12 Planets, originally uploaded by Laith :).

Members of the International Astronomical Union are to vote on a new definition on the term plant...How fun.

Any way the term will open way to the immediate addition of the platoons that have been around for a while and another planet as in the picture, as they fit the new definition.
The new definition from wiki is:
"A planet is a celestial body that (a) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (b) is in orbit around a star, and is neither a star nor a satellite of a planet."

For more info of the topic please refer to here and here.

Any way, that’s not the problem the problem as i see it is the fact that there are some 200 solar bodies out their that a full survey can add them up to be named planets.

Planets as a name had had always a certain holiness to the figure 9, are we ready to give that up and to add up a couple hundred to be name planets, it just seems insignificant, taking into consideration the mass and size relative to us even if they have enough to rotate around our sun, comets do so to, should we go around calling them planets to?
