Astronomers have discovered a planetary system orbiting a distant star which looks much like our own. They found two planets that were close matches for Jupiter and Saturn orbiting a star about half the size of our Sun. Saved By: olga9999 | View Details | Give Thanks

Imagine a world with no land at all, merely the impenetrable depths of a seething ocean. Models of planet formation predict the existence of such worlds, even though our own solar system has none. Indeed, their formation should actually be rather common - and new satellites may soon detect them around other stars.

Amateur astronomer William Bianco doesn't huddle over a backyard telescope to hunt for undiscovered planets. He logs onto his computer.

Several Johns Hopkins University astronomers described a decision Thursday to strip Pluto of its planetary status as a "muddled" ruling that is unlikely to settle ongoing debates over how to define a planet and whether the term should apply to Pluto. In an informal poll, only one astronomer was pleased to hear about Pluto's new status.

Finally, astronomers could be homing in on a definition of the word planet. After a day of public bickering in Prague, followed by negotiation behind closed doors, the latest draft resolution was greeted with a broadly friendly reception. If accepted on Thursday, it would be bad news for Pluto, which would no longer be a full-fledged planet.

In Prague, astronomers are trying to define what it means to be a planet. A draft definition released on Wednesday would have extended the club from the conventional nine to twelve. Friday, astronomers at the meeting suggested a different scheme – one that would instead relegate Pluto to the status of "dwarf planet".

As children, everyone is taught the traditional order of the nine planets in the solar system. However, as we learn more about our neighboring planets– and space in general– this may have to be changed.
