MP3 of the Day

On this day in 1930 the ninth planet Pluto, was discovered at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, by astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh. However, in August 2006, the International Astronomical Union announced that Pluto would no longer be considered a planet, due to new rules that said a planet must "clear the neighborhood around its orbit." Since Pluto's oblong orbit overlaps that of Neptune, it was disqualified. Today we have an acoustic version of Welcome to the Planet by The Thermals.

not fair to say it's a planet and after years you just say " no it's not a planet"....(I love the space)
