Pluto brings transformation and completes a 248 year cycle in 2024 that began in 1776. YIKES! WattsUpWithThat.com: "Pluto is the second-most complex, interesting planet in our solar system behind Earth" MSNBC.com: [A]stronomers are already circulating a petition that would try to overturn the IAU decision." PHYS.org: "NASA missions may re-elevate Pluto and Ceres from dwarf planets to full-on planet status." Space.com: "[O]nly 424 astronomers were allowed to vote, out of some 10,000 professional astronomers around the globe." BBC.com: "Pluto vote 'hijacked' in revolt... A fierce backlash has begun against the decision by astronomers to strip Pluto of its status as a planet." ![]() FUN FACT: Benjamin Franklin used astrology to choose July 4, 1776 as the most fortuitous date for the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
