The International Astronomical Union defined the term "planet" for the first time. This definition excluded Pluto from planethood, so Pluto was reclassified under the new category of "dwarf planet" along with and Ceres and Eris.
I'm a veteran of two careers - high school math and physics teacher, retirement consulting actuary - who is now enjoying the pleasure of staying at home for my daughter. (My avatar is in honor of Will Durant, whom I consider the last true sage.)
