Everything old is new again.

Let’s extend our hand to a family member who was ousted from the family on spurious grounds back in 2006. No, it’s not your brother in-law who finally got a job.

Pluto, a celestial ice-ball of frozen methane might be making its way back into the solar system family as a full-fledged planet once again. First discovered and classified as a planet in 1930, Pluto was relegated to “dwarf-planet” designation by the International Astronomical Union.

Did someone slip some mind altering drugs into the juice during their confab and make them ‘dis’ our littlest planet? They said there were too many rocks outside Neptune’s orbit just about the same size as the cute orb, therefore Pluto could not be a planet.

They compared her to a rock. Maybe that’s why she’s been in interplanetary therapy since she was rejected.

3.6 billion miles from the sun; it’s the farthest ‘rock’ in orbit and deserves a little respect. All it might take is one more nasty remark and our tiniest planet could get flung from its orbit like a costume malfunction during the half time show.

Now, some scientists say that Pluto should be back.

Harvard science historian Owen Gingerich, who chairs the IAU planet definition committee, argued at a forum last month that “a planet is a culturally defined word that changes over time, like ‘rap’ music.”

We should be nice to our celestial neighbor. You never know when we might need another place to live.
