A planet no more

The IAU has voted. Pluto is no longer a planet. Henceforth, the solar system will contain eight planets and various other objects.

The sad part about this is that Quaoar has no chance of being a planet. I was looking forward to my kids asking me how to pronounce Quaoar (khaw-wurr, I think) and spell it, and I was looking forward to telling them to figure it out for themselves.
