Pluto Protestors Take to Seattle Streets

A couple dozen children, their parents, MSNBC science journalist Alan Boyle and others marched in the streets of Seattle, Washington today, demanding that the farthest known sphere from our Sun — which formerly met most criteria to be considered a planet — be reinstated as a member of our solar system. As part of the protest action the students of 826 Seattle wrote persuasive letters to the International Astronomical Union, arguing that Pluto should be reinstated as a planet.
