Alright so thanks to my fold-out solar system poster in The Age today, I now know that there have been a couple of new planets added to our galaxy since I was a lad.

The dwarf planets Eris and Ceres seem to be new additions, while Pluto has been re-categorised as a dwarf planet.

Personally, I would have preferred the term 'little planet', but since the cats at NASA don't seem to be too bothered about political correctness, I just hope one of them is ruled by this guy.

Nice to see the ArcMeister back on the blogosphere! But you better keep an eye on that Goodreads widget -- it's growing into a monster :-)
