Nine planets. Pluto will always be a planet to me.

I'm glad Pluto is no longer a true planet. It should have never been considered one in the first place, but scientists didn't know any better back then. It's smaller than our Moon.

I don't understand why we would be concerned about planets "lining up"... we can't even get most people down here to park in marked spaces without getting over the "line"

The year 1665 was the year of the Black plague...could the near alignment planets have had any effect on life on Earth?
