Can you believe it...Pluto no longer a planet!!! Ramifications of this are just unimaginable. Some of them have been listed below:

1. First and foremost playing with the minds of people like us who have devised mnemonics to remember the names of all the planets there are in the solar system. Now we will have to devise some all over again.

2. Shattering dreams of so many people living near the equator of shifting to cooler climes of Pluto in the near future. Well they will have to do with Neptune instead. That is unless the scientists decide to downgrade it as well.

3. NASA's plans to send a probe to the farthest planet - Pluto. Well, they will in a sense save money by not having to send their probe so far off. I don’t think they will waste money on just an asteroid now.

4. The NDA and Congress will now have to make changes in the science textbooks again. What a boring job. No communalization issues no nothing. That is unless some religious sect comes up with a way of politicizing it.

5. One hurt pride of the guy on the left. He will have to be content with downgrading of his name now.
