1st there was 9, then 8 ppl, 8!!!

the IAU (international astronomical union) conference ended few days ago and they came out with new ruling of what constitues a planet.. after much anticipation of expecting our solar system to welcome new members and expand, to my surprise.. our solar system has now become even smaller.. *sigh*

Pluto is no longer considered as one of the planet in the solar system. instead, it is now a white dwraft planet (wth? xde name lain ke..?) together with Xena, Ceres and that other one ( i cant remember the name) its a BIG bummer... kesian kat pluto!!!

this is due to the orbit of pluto yg sedikit senget-ed and interrrupts a little dgn Neptune nyer orbit and so that contradics with one of the rules-of-what-a-planet-is which is - the orbit must be in a complete eclips shape and xbole langgar mane2 orbit planet lain... as for Xena n Ceres, their orbits pon x brape nak centre i guess so thats y dorg x di iktiraf jugak...

hm hm hm.. frust~ after uranus, pluto is my favourite planet in the solar system... it is like so cute, small n mysterious.. (like me..) hah! ok ok im crapping.. anyway, im still bersyukur la at least, even if it is now a white dwarft planet, still, it is a planet kan?.. thank god.. nasib baik x jatuh taraf asteroids ke, junks ke.. kan?

so the newspaper reports that hm after the season fall (which is sekarang) science text books around the world are expected to be re-writen and not to include pluto in the solar system.. it is said that this is a very emotional change as we all learnt this things a bout planet since we were little and we belive pluto to be one of us.. n tetibe its no longer with us.. however, i suppose, that this is science.. it couldnt just be static n unchanging kan..? science will keep changing after each discoveries being made.. who know one day we'll find more new planets? or even creatures other than those of in this earth? and that what makes mankind richer day after day.. ilmu =) pluto telah mengorbankan diri for the sake of science and let us treasure it..

long live pluto! u'll alwis be in my heart!!
