Well, looks like the IAU astronomers *did* hate last week's 12-planet proposal, since they've decided instead on a definition that calls eight of the things out there "planets," three others "dwarf planets" (which is an odd term to use if they want those to be distinct from "planets"), and I guess Charon just winds up being Pluto the Dwarf's moon. Oh well... "promotion" for Ceres, "demotion" for Pluto, and they're all out there orbiting the Sun like nothing's changed anyway. :)
