I don't know what this has to do with posters (other than, perhaps, a few
early Disney pieces), but...
Pluto should never have been called a planet in the first place. Pluto is
better described as a double-planet or binary system (Pluto orbits Charon
[and vice versa], not the sun). And, before you say whoa, you can't call
Charon a planet.... Charon and Pluto have moons that orbit them, so if
Charon is only a moon - then, it's a moon that has it's own moons (you can
see how that could lead to problems)...
Cheers,
Bob

One has to wonder: Just where does the IAU (International Astronomer's
Union?) get the authority to go around making proclamations on stuff like
this? Why should anyone pay any attention to their edict about Pluto? It's
grandfathered in as a "planet", whether they decide to change the
definition of a planet going forward or not doesn't change that. This is
the kind of thing that gets people pissed at science and scientists... the
arrogance.

A heart-broken Mickey Mouse predicts that Earth may well be next.
