                                   Pluto Reunited with the Planets

Pluto was first discovered in the 18^th century when astronomers were doing research on the rotation of Neptune and Mercury.

Pluto not being a planet has not sat right with astronomers for the past 6 years. Over the past couple year’s groups and organizations such as NASA and Astronomy Magazine have been strongly pushing to have Pluto reunited with the other planets. "Most astronomers believe Pluto should take its place alongside other Kuiper Belt objects rather than consort with the 'real' planets. Astrologers have a different idea," says President Gisele Terry of the International Society for Astrological Research

Tiny Pluto has emerged as a solar system powerhouse on every level. Although three times smaller than the Earth's moon and five times lighter, astrologers say the Pluto’s influences are “titanic, massive, psychologically profound and compelling.” Over the last few decades, powerful new ground and space-based observatories have completely changed previous understanding of the outer Solar System. Instead of being the only planet in its region, like the rest of the Solar System, Pluto and its moons are now known to be just a large example of a collection of objects called the Kuiper Belt. This region extends from the orbit of Neptune out to 55 astronomical units which is about 55 times the distance of the Earth to the Sun.
At a recent astrological conference held in Washington D.C a “Bill of Rights” for astronomy was passed. At the top of this list of rights, was the right to consider Pluto a planet. So, on October 7, 2011 Pluto was recognized as a planet once again.
