PLUTO DEMOTED TO "DWARF PLANET"

Yesterday, the International Astonomical Union declared the planet Pluto to be reclassified as a Dwarf Planet, since it no longer meets the new qualifications of a planet in our solar system. There has been some controversy over its classification since its discovery in 1930.

It is unlikely, however, that libraries will immediately toss all their materials listing Pluto as a planet; what information there is on this "Dwarf" planet will still be found at 523.482.
