				 Re: OT:  The solar system has 12 planets 
 Charon being included as a planet was a bit surprising.   Well, we'll know in a week or so whether this new redefinition is approved by the vote.  If more planets are discovered, we could end up with more than 12 in the future.
 I can imagine that many years from now, I'll show my future kids my old astronomy book that shows only 9 planets, and I'll say, see, there were only 9 planets back then!
