RE: MystiFACT-or-FICTION response #2 Can we make 'Pluto' the 'Planet' again?

Great article. I think this is the most concise article about Pluto's status as a dwarf planet. I can see the slippery slope calling Pluto a planet when there are so many objects in the solar system similar in mass to Pluto. Who knows, in the next 20-30 years we may even find an object well beyond Pluto's orbit that has more mass than Pluto. There are several astronomers that suggest there is gravitational influence from a possible planet far in the Kuiper belt. This would be an exciting discovery if this was the case.

Thanks, yes it would have been a bit longer but I have not mentioned many things...

It will be exciting to see..
