Prague, Czech Republic February 28, 2009
The International Astronomical Union, today, made another startling announcement. In 2006, the Union determined that Pluto was no longer a planet. Pluto's demotion was the result of it's failure to meet the 3rd of 3 new planet status requirements.
1. A planet must orbit a star.
2. A planet must be spherical in shape.
3. A planet must clear out it's neighborhood of orbital debris.
Today, the Union announced that due to failure to meet the 3rd requirement, Uranus will also lose it's "planet status". The Union's concern was the overly close promixity of sub-planet Imaliar.
