Happy birthday Neptune from all here on AnswerBank

Not sure is this is the right area for this posting, but have just learned that the planet Neptune is 1 today. At least it has been one Neptunian year since we first discovered it. There is a programme on Radio Four tonight at 11 p.m. about it called 'Happy Birthday Neptune'.

There is also a link below about this supposedly furthermost planet from the sun. Does anyone else here hate people stealing planets, and still think of Pluto as the most distant planet from the Sun? I do think it is the ninth planet, and hope you all agree with me on this area.

Aw - yes, happy birthday Neptune, I hope someone buys you a new Trident! http://www.google.co....sqi=2&ved=0CE8Q9QEwBQ

Yes, I still think of Pluto as a planet.
Did Radio 4 ever do a programme called 'Happy Birthday to Uranus'?

Glad some of you agree with me and think of Pluto as a planet. I really do not take kindly to people stealing planets out of our little solar system. Could we start a "Bring back Pluto" campaign do you think?

Has Pluto definitely been relegated now such that it is no longer considered a planet? If it's not a planet what is it classed as?

It's classed as a dwarf planet now.
