Summary:
For many years, it was accepted as fact that our solar system had nine
planets
. However, one important meeting of astronomers in 2006 reduced that number to eight. They decided that
Pluto
was not a
planet
, a declaration that outraged some people. Readers will learn more about distant
Pluto
, such as how it was accidentally discovered. Brilliant photographs accompany the fascinating facts.
