Umm...did you know there are 11 planets now? Yeah, not only did Pluto not get the boot (just a downgrade to "dwarf planet") but he brought his friends Ceres and Eris with him. This also necessitated a new mnemonic. No longer did My Very Excellent Mother Just Serve Us Nine Pizzas. Instead, My Very Exciting Magic Carpet Just Sailed Under Nine Palace Elephants. Good to know...Although, there are apparently as many as 42 other things floating around up there that could also be classified as dwarf planets. Good luck coming up with that mnemonic.
