Re: We now have a planet named Sedna

I have a bit of trouble calling Pluto a planet. I've always defined a moon as something that orbits a planet. Pluto is odd because its moon, Charon, and itself orbit each other. Since Charon is smaller in size I consider Pluto a planet. Sedna is extremely small, and we aren't sure if it is orbiting something else or not. For all we know there's something out there that eats planets like Jupiter for breakfast.
