Probably all those who believe in astrology

If you do a search on google for Pluto and astrology, it's full of stuff about it's influence, and all the rest of the rubbish they sprout. Pluto was only discovered in 1930, whereas Astrology has been foisted on a gullible public for a lot longer than that.

Actually I do give a shit.
I find astronomy, cosmology etc. fascinating.
There are now 12 planets in our solar system. Pluto and 3 new planets are to be classed as Plutons. I thought it was an exciting announcement.

Interesting..............

I never thought it was a planet anyway- I was inclined to think Pluto was a stray moon of Neptune that had gone out of orbit. Pluto is, principally, a ball of frozen methane- hardly foundation for planet status! A sub-planet it is.

What is Ceres, by the way- halfway between Mars and Jupiter? Surely it's an asteroid? Do you astronomy buffs think the asteroid belt is perhaps an ex-planet or a runaway Mars satellite that has been shattered by Jupiter's gravitational field???

I love this planetary shit, man! !teacher!

There are a number of planets in the solar system which are merely made up of gas.
